However, he has remained steadfast in his commitment to England up to this point and will likely be aiming to break into Thomas Tuchel’s squad ahead of next summer’s World Cup.<\/p>\n While he may not end up following his father’s path in international football, he does blame him for one aspect of his personality.<\/p>\n While appearing on CBS Sports after last night’s game, it was pointed out by Micah Richards that Liam Delap had a rather odd accent. The forward put them blame for that down to Rory, whose career in professional football was the family move around a number of time during his youth.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s why I came to this club, for incredible moments like this.\u201d<\/p>\n Liam Delap soaking it all in after Chelsea\u2019s win over Bar\u00e7a tonight \ud83d\udd35 pic.twitter.com\/6q0qDgsA7F<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 CBS Sports Golazo \u26bd\ufe0f (@CBSSportsGolazo) November 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Richards: Your accent, it sounds a little bit south, a little bit north.

I moved about with him, grew up in Manchester, it’s all over really to be fair. I don’t really know what it is.<\/p>\n Fair enough.<\/p>\n Rory Delap has moved into coaching circles since his retirement from playing, most recently being part of Robbie Keane’s staff at both Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ferencvaros.<\/p>\n SEE ALSO:\u00a0Brian Kerr Highlights ‘Disgraceful’ Nature Of Cristiano Ronaldo Ban After Ireland Red Card<\/a><\/p>\n
