My head hurts...
:confused: PP
Agree. He was absolutely class - always a threat, quick, strong, exciting to see on the ball. Sorely missed, still (by me at least). Could have got us to a WC and Euro Championships if he was able to grow right... ;)Quote:

I don't remember him costing us a goal in Macedonia, what happened? He had a testimonial???
Mick brought him on to play left back, and he didn't do it very well!!
He had a testimonial dinner, since he had to retire at a young age, he didn't make much out of the game (comparitively speaking) and is looking to pursue a career in the media.
He let his man go free to score a header

In fairness, McCarthy shouldn't have played him left back anyway, if that was the case. I always thought he was a very skillful player who seemed to love playing for Ireland. I heard a story once that he got injured during a medical :rolleyes:
Very talented lad alright & unlucky with injuries. But he also believed all his own hype & had a really poor attitude to being rich & famous. Too much of a tart and not enough of a professional is my impression (not based on a huge amount of concrete evidence I admit).
I played with him a few times at U/18 level, seemed a nice enough fella if not a little cocky (but I suppose that's just a Dublin thing ;) :D ).
Surprised to hear he had a testimonial dinner though, I believe he was on big money at Coventry but good luck to him anyway.
