There are probably a couple of recent ones. Surely Staunton capped a couple of players before their clubs did. Darren Potter, maybe?
Staunton himself was a Euro 88 call up before he played for Liverpool. I think.

A good number of Leeds players back in the '70's...and Liverpool and numerous others. So what?
Offhand, I remember Giles being from Leeds in the 1970's. I don't recall any other Leeds player for us in the '70's.

From Liverpool, Beglin and Stan. Maybe a few others, here and there, scattered over the years, but not loads.

Giles played for Manchester United before he was capped for Ireland.

Nope.
Maybe that college kid, but does he really exist?

Joey Lapira certainly exists! What about Terry Dixon?

Potter had appeared a few times for Liverpool before he was called up. Stephen O'Halloran was capped before he played for Villa

Stephen O'Halloran, the USA tour?
if a player turned up at the airport with his boots, Stan would have said 'yeah come along, you never know'.
I thought he was one of the great hopes at the time, but he picked up serious injury after serious injury before his senior career got off the ground.

Tets, any Leeds players capped in the '70s, apart from Giles of course?

From the 100 greatest Leeds players on wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Leeds_United_A.F.C._players - only Giles features from the 70's

There were, just not for Ireland.
Terry Yorath, David Harvey & Frank Gray spring to mind...
Though not Googled before the pedants get excited!

Stan wasn't in the Euro 88 squad.

Was always a decent question, who were the only players to make all 3 squads in 88, 90 and 94. There's 9 if memory serves.....

Bonner, McGrath, Townsend, Aldridge? Peyton? Sheedy? Sheridan? Maybe Cascarino?

And a trip to wikipedia tells me I have 5 of them right. Better than I expected actually!

Wasn't Pat Scully capped for the one and only time before he'd played a senior club game?

7 right. You want to know which ones are wrong or will I leave it out there?

Peyton wasn't in the USA 1994 squad. Niall Quinn also missed out due to injury, although I'm sure he later claimed he was actually fit but was instructed not to play by his club or something.

Ray Houghton was another in all three squads.

Houghton and Staunton!? Or maybe Sheridan

Seeing as the question started with Stan not being in the 88 squad, I'll give you Houghton and Sheridan, that's your 9. Most people struggle with Kelly and, in particular, Sheridan.....

Was gonna say McLoughlin but I remember he was only a newbie in 1990
