More strictly adhering to positions:
GK:Kenny or Kearns
RB: Kenna/Kelly (Stephen or Gary)
CB: Kernaghan, Roy Keane (vs Iceland!)
LB: Kelly (Stephen or Gary)/ Kenna
MF: Kennedy (RM & LM), Keane Kinsella Kilbane (LM, CM) Mark Kelly (LM)
CF: Keane David Kelly
I'm sure Mark Kennedy has played on the right as well as left. Alternatively put Kilbane LM, CM, LB & CB (he played 3 different positions against Chile I think!)

Pretty sure Kennedy played on the right in the 2-1 win over yugoslavia in 1999, he definately came off the right wing to score that cracking goal

G: Joe Murphy (S****horpe)?????????????
D: Moran, McGrath, McCarthy, Morris
M: McAteer, McLoughlin, McGeady, McGoldrick
F: Morrison, Macken?
Subs: S McPhail, P McShane, D Murphy, L Miller, P McCarthy, A Maybury
Manager: McCarthy (I guess player-manager)
Dont forget for K Mark Kinsella
Joe Murphy is a former u21, I couldnt find any other Irish keepers
Obviously Macken is not the greatest choice but I couldnt remember any other Forwards
I'm sure Mark Kennedy has played on the right as well as left. Alternatively put Kilbane LM, CM, LB & CB (he played 3 different positions against Chile I think!)
He has, I'm sure, at least for Wolves (not sure about Palace)

Alan Kelly
Gary Kelly - Alan Kernaghan -Roy Keane - Jeff Kenna
Mark Kinsella - - Graham Kavanagh - Mark Kennedy -Kevin Kilbane
David Kelly - Robbie Keane
Now is that Alan Kelly Snr or Alan Kelly Jrn as both kept goal for Ireland? They even have a portrait of the former across a stand which is named after him in Deepdale, Preston.

Babb, Breen, Paul Butler, Beglin,
Barrett, Brady, Thomas Butler**, Boland
Jason Byrne, John Byrne*
Manager: Pat Byrne
** Ex-Sunderland got 2 caps for us years ago
*the guy who played for Sunderland and scored in every round of the FA Cup in 1992 - think he played around 20 games for us.
Did Willie Boland ever play in the full team ?? If not I guess swap Babb for him and then bring in Shay Brennan

I am shocked to think that Budgie Byrne, who scored the goal the Cascarino didn't against Turkey in our 3-1 win in Izmir in 1991, should ever be forgotten. Budgie was a roundy legend in the far too few games he played - I think I remember him getting two with a red ball against Wales in Wrexham when we played a friendly there on the local ice rink in 1992?
Oh, yeah, he didn't score in the final that year, and I think that they started in the third round, so not strictly true. But a legend nonetheless.

He missed a sitter early on in the 92 Cup final. A shame as it would have been a great record. I thought Budgie was great. A real character too.

Byrne with 2 and Sheedy with one.

Byrne actually picked up a winner's medal in the cup final, there was a mix up in the presentation, and in the interview on the pitch he admitted he had been given a winner's medal and he was off before someone asked him to hand it back!

Incorrect. Quinn with a header in the first half, Quinn again in the second half and Byrne a few minutes before full time.

Lets start with a forward, one of the greatest Irish forwards ever (and Wickow man as well), Andy McEvoy.
Certainly you should also include the great Con Martin, who played right and left back, right half and centre half and even in goal as an international.
If you want a recognised goalkeeper you could try Seamus McDonagh, 24 caps prior to Peyton/Bonner.

I'm 16, have 1/32nd Irish ancestry, but I still managed to become a fan, though only 5/6 years ago. My knowledge basically goes back to a little bit before Jack Charlton came, and the rest is a jumbled mess, with Eamon Dunphy and Don Givens and Eoin Hand in there

Fair play... and good with fractions too!

Yep, you're right... :o Was just going to correct myself...
John Byrne is well up there in the list of most underrated Irish players, though. Remember him scoring twice out in Turkey as well in '91.
