Wages, endorsement, etc especially if they are successful. England has a population of 57 Million people roughly. Just think of the advertising money that can be made there as against 5.5 million in the Republic. Fortunes in comparison to relative peanuts ! !Quote:

He could be faking his IP address but that probably is taking things a step too far. I have little reason to doubt he is Argentinian.Quote:

Couldn't swear to the figures, but that's right. A friend did his PhD a few years back on a prominent emigrant and looked at the Irish there in the 1880s/1910s.Quote:

The writer Benjamín Vicuńa Mackenna and his grandfather the hero of the Chilean war of independence Juan MacKenna among them...
In terms of Argentina, Che was a Lynch...
This is exactly what Northern Ireland say we do. If a player wants to play for England, it's up to him to try it out and good luck to him. Some players will make different decisions. It's not on the manager.Quote:

I was checking him up after TG4's recent World Cup Gold series, and couldn't find anything definitive linking him to us. His Scottish heritage appears much more concrete - https://www.scotsman.com/sport/argen...ounder-2474037Quote:

Yeah, his great-great-grandfather was from Galway (I think there is some connection to Co. Clare too though??). Either way, he was never potentially eligible under the FIFA rules and he's dead so this is all a bit off-topic. ;)Quote:

Bernardo O'Higgins was from Chile. He was instrumental in achieving their independence from Spain. He was not Irish himself but the illegitimate son of a Sligo man in the service of Spain.Quote:

There are a good few Lavelles in North Mayo = The French dropped in there some time in History !Quote:

There's a long history of Irish men fighting in various wars of independence amongst different Latin American countries.Quote:

The aformentioned Bernardo O'Higgins was actually leader of Chilean war of Independence. His father was Ambrose O'Higgins who was born in Sligo and became leader of Chile under the Spanish.
And sure the fictional character Zorro was supposedly based on an Irish man.
Are we going to do historical links with Cuba next? ��
They don’t produce good footballers so do the qualify for this thread ? ?Quote:
