Graham Kavanagh was a good grafter, but he was maybe more unlucky in that he was competing against Keane, Kinsella and Holland in centre-mid.
Dave O'Leary of course!
I don't think we've had too many though. Scotland, by comparison, seem to have loads for some reason. Alan Hansen, Brian McClair, John Wark, Pat Nevin, Steve Archibald, Lou Macari, Alan Gilzean, Ian St John, Pat Crerand, Gary Gillespie, Graeme Sharp, Alan McInally, Duncan Ferguson - none got more than 30 caps, and most got a good few less. Archibald got 27 caps but spent three years at Barcelona. Crerand got 16 caps but played in the 1968 European Cup final. McInally spent four years at Bayern but only got 8 caps. I think our efforts will pale in comparison with the Scots!
