54 miles. Luton & Dunstable hospital.
The only way I can make it interesting is my sporting eligibility for India, given my (British) Mum was born there.
I am not anticipating a call up.

I’m a Londoner by birth and first few years too. I was born in Hammersmith Hospital which a quick Google check tells me is 62 miles from The Abbey. By birth, I should be a QPR fan as Loftus Road is barely a mile from Hammersmith, but my first few years were in Kensington and my first live games actually at Craven Cottage in the 70’s, so I suppose Fulham was my first club. Anyhow, since moving to Cambridge in 1978 I’ve been a U and that’s that!
And… echoing Squeeze above, my Mum was born in the Czech Republic to Austrian parents and the rest of my very small family lives in Vienna other than me/wife/son, so had I been any good at football I’d have had the choice of Czechia, Austria or England!

Nigh on 400 miles away in castle under the glorious Wallace Monument close to Stirling. Clearly that makes me Scottish royalty but in no way related to those currently claiming the throne!
I might issue a decree that Cambridge play in the Scottish Premiership. Europe here we come!

You wouldn't as you would firstly need to revoke British citizenship, as India does not allow dual-nationality of adults.

True. I just remembered that Michael Chopra wanted to play for them and a recent WSC article talked about the coach of their national team, Igor Stimac, being frustrated by the rule.

Now you say that I recall Danny Batth having the same issue. My hopes and dreams have been dashed.

Ha, nice one Squeeze. I am Indian. My Mum and Dad were born there although I was born in London. My wife is English and we have 3 daughters. The youngest, who is 16, and has the skills that I never had, has been invited to an India training camp. I now have a British passport so not sure how this will pan out of if she will even go.
