Who is Phil Greatwich?

Philip Carlo Barbon Greatwich is an English-born Philippine international footballer. He qualifies for that country because his mother Carolina is Filipina. He plays as a full back.

Greatwich was born in Brighton, and began his football career as a schoolboy with Brighton & Hove Albion. Released as a 16-year-old, he made his debut in first-team football for Burgess Hill Town of the Isthmian League Division One South, and won the club's Young Player of the Year award for the 2005–06 season. Greatwich received his first call-up to the senior Philippine national team in October 2006, and played in all three of the Philippines' group matches in the 2007 ASEAN Football Championship finals.

In 2007 he went to the United States to begin a course in Sports Management at Towson University, Maryland, where he played for the Towson Tigers soccer team.

Greatwich's older brother Chris and younger brother Simon are also Philippines international footballers.
