He'll never be accused of being one of Ireland's all-time greats but..

He'll always turn up..

I only missed out on two squads in 9 and a half years playing for Ireland. One was through suspension and one was with an injury. Each time that the squad would be announced I would get nervous as I wanted to be a part of the squad so much. When I was told I was in the squad I was delighted to get the chance to represent Ireland. Maybe those values are lost on the likes of Stokes but to use “tiredness” as an excuse not to play for your country is a joke.

..and might well score an important goal when he does.

He's the original Matty Holland.

I think its gotta be Mr Tommy Coyne.

EACF_rdfl to start round 8....

its hard to know whether to go for a defender or a midfielder, but im going for Tony Galvin on the left wing

Galvin is a good pick at this stage.

Sullivinho is up!

Left-back time.

Chris Hughton made history as the first player of mixed race to play for Ireland and went on to gain 53 caps. He was there at the coming of age parties ('88 & '90) and returned years later to offer his services once again, as assistant manager. He'll be nothing if not reliable on the left side of defense.

BonnieShels is up!

Will pick when I get home.

Galvin and Hughton are two excellent choices. Had my eyes on Hughton

It came down to a choice between him and a similar (if speedier) player for me. Not much between them. Just the way I was....feelin'.
