London Counties

@Jevansen Greetings! I don't have access to any sources, or indeed any skin in this game (if you'll pardon the pun), so here are two genuine questions.

Although he played for Scotland, are you certain that Crichton-Millar is 'British', bearing in mind he was born in Italy. I don't know exactly how these things worked around a hundred years ago. Do we even need to state his nationality?
You have placed him in the London Counties category, without mentioning this link within the article. Furthermore, why is there no article about London Counties, or were they such a miserable team that there is no history worth considering? I searched Google and came up with zilch.

Hi. Thank you for your diligence.

Both his parents were Scottish. His father Hugh Crichton-Miller's nationality alone would have granted Donald British citizenship (from my understanding) and Hugh's article states that he married "Eleanor Lorimer of Edinburgh".

London Counties is mentioned at the bottom of the second paragraph and is cited. There is indeed no article on them, although that isn't a requirement to support a category. London Counties were a representative side that played, amongst others, 20th century national touring sides.[1] No one has yet made an article, but there's no reason one couldn't be created using sources like newspapers.com, which provides plenty of coverage on the topic.
