Is he? He's from Huyton and has played for England at under-20 level. It's just I saw him mentioned in a thread on OWC dedicated to sourcing out players eligible for the IFA. There was no explanation given as to his eligibility but if he's eligible to play for the IFA through a northern-born parent or grandparent, then he'd also be entitled to Irish citizenship and potentially eligible to play for us.

They've just brought another 18 year old, Anton Forrester, on for his debut but looks like O'Sullivan won't make it on. Still good to see.

UD Lieira in the Portuguese third division. Was supposed to go to Feirense in Div 2 but it fell through. Has apparently signalled his intention to play for Nigeria.

wonder why Stephen Quinn was omitted?
Because he's not an international I'd assume.

No, Trap mixed him up with Leon Best and questioned his commitment to doing interviews in a press conference.

Millwall beat Leicester last night with Dunne getting a late goal. Keogh is supposed to have played well and Forde made a superb late save according to The Times. Doc was ineligible.

Link up with Paul Cook again. Strange move for him, and a step backwards in my opinion.
Charlie Darwin
05/04/2013, 3:07 PM
He's gone backwards a bit. It will be interesting to see how he links up with Boco when Cook buys him for the 465th time this summer.

I'm curious. Why would you think he was English-born with a name like that? Both his names scream Ulster.
