This 18 year old lad made his debut for Watford last week and by all accounts is making a big impression there. Described as a tough tackling midfielder and as looking like a backing singer for Dexy's midnight runners by aidy boothroyd.
He was born in Harrow but with a name like that must have connections here.
Surely he would be worth a look at - at underage level at least.

Not related to the above player but there's a chap in Sweden called Kevin Walker that is eligible for us and is worth a look at. He's playing underage football with Sweden at the moment but that hasn't stopped the FAI before
He has also recently signed for AIK who are one of the top teams in the Swedish league.
There was an article there in DN a couple of months ago and the Walker brothers both seem open to play for either Sweden or Ireland.
Is the older brother still being coached by his father?
No. The daddy got the sack from Örebro a couple of weeks ago.Originally Posted by DIFChick
Either way, I'm sure there'll be "no regrets".
Looking at their performance it was probably the right decision. But the man did a lot of good at ÖSK.
Hope the sons choose to play for Sweden, especially the younger one Kevin who seems quite talented.
Kevin Walker has a better chance of playing in the yellow of Sweden than the green of Ireland and afaik turned down approaches before.Not related to the above player but there's a chap in Sweden called Kevin Walker that is eligible for us and is worth a look at.

He's the son of Paddy Walker who lost his job as manager of Orebo few weeks ago, the same Paddy who was at the All Ireland final on Sunday

John Joe O'Toole ... whatever he does in life, he's got a cool name!
"A silent mouth is sweet to hear"
Very good stuttgart.
John-Joe O'Toole
This young lad (18) has just signed his first professional contract at Watford, and has already had three substitute appearances for the first team.
He is a very strong and mobile midfielder, and pretty good in the air.
I don't know for certain if he qualifies for us, but he joined the Watford Academy as an eight year old from St.Josephs youth in Harrow ( and area in North London, like Kilburn, that should have a Dublin postcode )
Tact is for people who are not witty enough to be sarcastic
John Joe O'Toole - his ancestors don't hail from Peru with a name like that!!
Quoting years at random since 1975
Maybe his Grandfather was "Scrap Iron O'Toole" anyone remember him from the Telly in the early 80's
If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later
FORM IS TEMPORARY, CLASS IS PERMANENT
Get him signed up for an underage side. It's always nice to have a few 2G lads involved.

played saturday - got an 8 rating
I have a head only Snow White would love
John-Joe played from the start on saturday and certainly looked as if he had played at that level for a long time....very unlucky not to score with a cracking long range drive that the Hull keeper did well to tip over.

under 19 uefa qualifier squad announced - he hasn't been called up - is he going to declare or are we going to miss out - any update sligo hornet - hate to think we would if he's a prospect
I have a head only Snow White would love
Does he want to play for Ireland? I think that's the most important question.
Top Breeders recommend drinkfeckarse....
No, I think the more important question is does he qualify? Your question is irrelevant if he doesn't
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
And if he doesn't want ot play, the matter of him qualifying or not is irrellevantNo, I think the more important question is does he qualify? Your question is irrelevant if he doesn't
