Dunne Lawrence and Given.

**Colbert Report** · 29/04/2009, 1:37 AM

Stephen Ireland our top ranked player overall. Robbie Keane not far behind. Shay Given is in the top 100 as well.

**Yard of Pace** · 29/04/2009, 9:04 AM

And people still persist with the "we don't have the players" line every time we don't win.
I'm excited to see Lawrence in action for us.

Four with Ireland. Frankly now embarrasing that Lawrence is still awaiting a chance.

Irish Abroad statistics for April 2009: http://www.chatsoccer.net/irishabroad/april.xquery
Sheffield United's run to the play offs helped Paddy Kenny win the most games, the goalkeeper tops the winners list with 4 wins
Coventry are well represented in the draws table, Kieran Westwood, Michael Doyle and Clinton Morrison all figure near the top of the tables, but it's Preston's Jon Macken with the most draws - 5 in total
Norwich's relegation means it's no surprise Gary Doherty had the most losses in the fourth month, the defender started four losses for the Canaries
Macken, Westwood and Mark Kennedy all started the most games, the striker, goalkeeper and winger each started seven games for their respective clubs
Shay Given, Richard Dunne, Michael Doyle and Clinton Morrison all completed 90 minutes more often than any other player, each player remained on the pitch for six games
Aiden McGeady was substituted more than any other player, the Celtic winger was withdrawn from the action four times
Matt Holland, Stephen Hunt, Caleb Folan and Cillian Sheridan were all introduced three times in April
Darren Randolph was an unused substitute more than any other player, Barnsley's Martin Devaney was an unused substitute more than any other outfield player
Another profligate month in front of goal for Irish players, with Shane Long and Stephen Ireland both netting the most, just three. Better news for Long was that Reading went on to win every game he scored in during April
Alan Lee picked up the most bookings in April, the striker was shown the yellow card three times
