Past ROI players

Mods - feel free to move this if there’s already a thread.
A friend of mine said her Dad, Michael Harding, played for Preston NE and Ireland in the 60s. He also played for Pat’s. But I can’t see any evidence of it online.
Is there a way of checking out? Would there be players who played for Ireland who aren’t on the online records, slipped through the net?

There's a retired players thread - http://foot.ie/threads/221828-Retired-Players-Thread - but I don't think this really fits

Can't find any record of anyone called Harding on soccerscene.ie, which is my go to for these types of queries, but that doesn't mean he didn't play underage, or was an unused sub for the senior team
