Marc Mukendi Tshilumba

[Hibs4Ever]

Saw this guy is in the Ireland U-19 squad. Name is a bit unusual. Anyone know anything about him?

[Krstic]

He plays for Derry City's under-21 side.
Big lad about 6'4 and quite broad as well.
His Da played for Derry City way back at the start of our LOI days, he was a big Midfielder named Jose and was supposed to have been a Zaire international.

Be interesting if this lad makes it all the way to the senior team.
I wonder how many Father and sons have played international football for different countries?????

Dunno about fathers and sons, but Christian Vieiri's brother Max plays for Australia

[Irish_Praha]

Didn't Ronnie Whelan's father play for Ireland too?

So did Alan Kelly's dad, Alan Kelly Senior

Jose used to spell his name MOKENDI and was christened Joey McKenzie by Derry Fans to whom he was a folk hero.:D

No that was just how the name was printed in the programme.
The guy's that wrote them just spelt his name the way they pronounced it.

'Mokendi, Makendi, Mukendi etc...

It happened alot during the early days when Derry had quite a few 'non-nationals' in the side.

'DaGama, DeGama,D'Gama'
'Kristic,Krstic etc.etc.......:eek:

Well, close enough to being GUBU was Eidur Gudj. (Chelsea) played with his father for Iceland in the same WCQ game. Even though they were 4-0 up at the time, the grievous part was that the coach denied the nation the spectacle of the two playing together with the father age 36 being substituted by his teenage son.

[CollegeTillIDie]

More brothers who played for different countries. John Hollins 1 cap for England brother Dave Hollins kept goal for Wales.

[Zidane]

I know its not Father and Sons but did Kevin Gallen's brother play for Ireland at some level.

[Mayo Red]

I know its not Father and Sons but did Kevin Gallen's brother play for Ireland at some level.

I'm open to correction here but I think he had two brothers that played underage/youth football for Ireland. One of them certainly played U-21 and if I am not mistaken, Joe Gallen who played for Dundalk round about 1996 was one of these brothers. Sorry I'm a bit vague, but I'm working from memory here!!

[Qwerty]

Yep both Stephen and Joe played at under age level, I think both played U-21as well. Joe played for the Drogs for a while.

Yes Zidane at Under 21 Level Joe Gallen played , he also had a brief spell in the League over here with Shamrock Rovers...

[CollegeTillIDie]

So basically we can call him Marc McKendi Tshilumba if we want :D
