Manchester United started four Irishmen for their Premiership game with Ipswich on Saturday - Roy Carroll, Denis Irwin, John O'Shea and Roy Keane. By my reckoning it was the first time that four Irishmen started a League game for United since 18 April 1987 when Paul McGrath, Kevin Moran, Liam O'Brien and Norman Whiteside lined up against Newcastle but I'm open to correction.
