Ireland, Seth Efrika (my father's father was born to Irish parents in Capetown) and perfidious Albion (I was hatched in London). It'd be a cold day in hell before I exercised the latter option though. :eek: :D

At 27 i might have missed my call up for the Irish National side...(although I have been doing some interesting step overs on the Astro pitches at DCU so ye never know I could still bring something new to the side maybe untill McGeady holds down a place) That said if I get a call up to the US team I will have to take it ahead of WC 2006 to futher my profile on the World stage...however if we (Ireland) meet the US in the said WC I'm not sure I would give a fulsome performance :)
Yeah, I never said what for though :DQuote:

counties wise, split right down the middle between Cork and Derry (ma from cork, da from Derry hi)
rather hypothetical question since I was a ****e soccer player.
Could have played gaylick for Kerry (mother's side) but I'm ****e at the bogball too.
I still dream of lifting the WC with Peru if that does'nt work out I have Eire to fall back on. :D
Gaelic -Sligo ,Donegal and Dublin
football just Ireland
Ireland, U.S., Northern Ireland(but from what I'v read on the OWC site over the years, I'd never consider it).......I'm not waiting by the phone.
Born in England, but i would only play for the REPUBLIC, :) as for Gaelic MAYO all the way
100% Scotland. So despite my age, girth and general lack of ability I'm probably foot.ie's best prospect for a cap :eek:
Ireland or England for footy
As for GAA Longford, Galway or Londain. My granny was Kerry, but dont know how far back to go :o :)
The GAA isn't based on county of birth or that of your decendants.Quote:

Sure Larry Tompkins is a Kildare man and Karl O'Dwyer played for Kildare when his father took them over. There are loads of other examples.
Right well then Galway and Longford. oh and London ;)Quote:

GAA-Let me see........ I was born in Dublin, I grew up in Wicklow, my da's from Kerry, my ma's from Waterford and I have grandparents from Kerry, Limerick and Tipperary.
I think that'd make it Dublin, Wicklow, Kerry, Waterford, Limerick or Tipperary. What a choice??
