Biggest Age Gap in an Ireland Team EVER!

[Grafter]

Keeping it obscure....:rolleyes:
Would I be right in saying that Robbie Keane (19yrs) playing upfront with Tony Cascarino (37yrs) against Turkey at home in Euro2000 playoff in Nov 1999 is the largest gulf in age profiles in an Irish team ever?

I mean did Gary Kelly (b.1974) and Kevin Moran (b.1956) share the pitch in Tilburg in '94 does anyone know....?

As far as I know, Kelly & Moran both started that game.

How disappointing when the threadstarter answers his own question in the first post.

I know he's only just joined but can I propose a one month ban for exclamation marks in thread titles?

Liam Brady made his debut against USSR, when Johnny Giles was player manager. Think he was 18 and Giles was bout 35 or 36. What a game to be at.

I don't know their exact ages but I'm a pretty good judge of age by the playing style.
The biggest gap in an Ireland team EVER is Given 64 (very slow) in the World Cup and McShane about 4 and a half (chasing da ball anywhere).

Does anyone know of any other uncle and nephew combinations who have represented their country, outside of Kelly and Harte? Maybe it's just an Irish thing?

Rigobert Song is Alex Song's uncle, isn't he?

Wayne Henderson and his nephew Stephen Henderson could theoretically have been in the same squad had Wayne not been forced to retire.

Jack and Son of Jack?
