hate to think how you got your name :eek: :D
There was a thread on this a while back, so search and you might find it.
Anyway off the top of my head
Noel Campbell (Fortuna Cologne)
Laim Brady (Juventus, Inter, Ascoli)
Liam Buckley (Racing Santander)
John Byrne (le Havre)
Frank Stapleton (le havre, Ajax)
Robbie Keane (Inter)
Kevin Moran (Osasauna)
Mick McCarthy (Lyon)
Tony Cascirino (Marseille)
Mickey Walsh (Porto)
Liam Brady - Italy
Michael Robinson - Osasauna
Mickey Walsh - Porto
Don Givens - Neauchatel
Robbie Keane - Inter
Frank Stapleton - Le Harve, Ajax
Tony Cascarino - Marseilles
Mick McCarthy - Lyons
John Aldridge - Real Soceiadad
Gary Waddock - Waragem
Kevin Moran - Gijon
John Byrne (I think played for Le Harve)
Guessing that these might have been capped whilst finishing their careers in Canada and USA:
John Giles (Vancoover Whitecaps)
Pierce O Leary (Vancoover Whitecaps)
Joe McDonagh (Vancoover Whitecaps)
guesses
Ronnie O Brien Juventus
dont think Bucko got a cap while in spain
Couple more North America ones: Steve Heighway won his last cap whilst with Minnesota Kicks. I think Fran O'Brien won all his caps during his time with Philadelphia Fury.Quote:

Right about one with Rovers, but the other was with Waregem - versus Mexico in 1984.Quote:

Could be wrong but didn't Paul 'Ski' Mc Gee play for some team between QPR and his return to LOI? :confused:
Yeah he did. Was it Heerenveen or some other dutch club?Quote:
