Anyone know who Pat Scully won his single cap against?

Joe Lapira is one to add to the list. Safe to say he won't be getting called up again

Michael Doyle earned one cap in 2006.

Paddy Madden, David McGoldrick, Cyrus Christie and Shane Duffy all have one cap but are all reasonably likely to earn more.

Doyle was 2004, wasn't he? Late sub against Holland?

That was one of my favourite friendly wins - Matt Holland and Alan Quinn bossing midfield and Keane with one of his best goals for Ireland.

I could be wrong, Supreme. I got my info from Wikipedia.

And you're right. It's up there with the 4-0 win over Denmark.

Edit: http://irishecho.com/2011/02/keane-n...uel-holland-2/

You are, indeed, right.

Was Kelham O'Hanlon mentioned? I think he played half a game v Israel, the David Kelly debut hat trick game at Dalyer.

I was going to say Jon Goodman until I looked him up. He got 4 caps apparently.
I never liked anyone who spelt 'John' without the 'h'...

Later gave up football and became an actor on Roseanne. Gained lots of weight.

A wet and thundery night in Cardiff if im thinking of the same game - 0-0?

Was it Paul Mcgraths last game for Ireland that night?

My 3000th post chaps! And so many of you said I wouldn't make 600. Good God I have so many people to thank. To POSH for picking up that litter in Bari. To Charlie Darwin for his love of crackbird and encouragement. Nigel Harps for his words of wisdom. Adam for keeping things together in such dark times.
Stutts for his love of art, particularly Tilda Swinton in that box. To many of your sisters and female relatives.
leave you with this: a ballboy slipping behind Maria Sharapova

3,000 posts and none of them about Irish football. I do wonder how many other forums you have successfully infiltrated in a similar manner. Much respect.

After his pro-Tory tweet last week, it's getting harder to like the man. If he scores the winner against Scotland all will be forgiven!

Well I suppose it's short for Jonathan, as opposed to a different way of spelling John.

I know he tends to score in bursts but for a guy who has scored quite a bit in the championship, it is odd that Joe Mason doesn't have at least one cap.

Too many ahead of him. Paddy Madden I remember playing in the U.S. at the end of Trap's reign. Did he play more than once?

I wouldn't say Madden is ahead of him in the pecking order now.

Great thread, enjoyed reading this.
To be honest how many off us would of given anything for just one cap?
Running out in front of our wonderful fans, and having the honour of wearing the green shirt.

Priceless!

I thought he was excellent in The Big Lebowski.

What about 2 cap wonders? That's almost more interesting in a way. The list includes Glenn Crowe, Clive Clark, and Alan Mahon. Clive Clark is a country & western singer now. Or at least his name suggests he may be.

The picture of lads in training in the article is good http://img2.thejournal.ie/inline/323...ersion=3238507 Think I recognise them all except possibly the nose between Breen and McGrath. I have an idea who it might be but can't be sure.

What brand of cleats is the one with the green in the middle? Could they be now defunct Etonics? Those are collectors items these days.

I still reckon Mike Milligan could have been a contender!
