dont forget stephen ireland of man city, apparantley hes eligible to play for us too
Paul Gasgoigne .. read somewhere years ago that he could have played for us .. and that Charlton approached him. Might have dreamed that though ... would he have got into our team though with Mc Grath and Keane, Townsend, Lawrenson, Whelan, Brady, Sheedy, houghton etc etc?
might have found room for him as a supersub when Houghton got tired.
Jack told this one at a function in Galway I attended.
He asked Gazza did he have any Irish blood in him and was told "not me boss I'm pure Geordie". A few weeks later at Gazza's england U21 debut he mentioned it to Gazza's parents that he'd have been in the rish senior squad if he'd any Irish blood. "but my mother is Irish said Gazza'smum".
Not sure if he counts as one that got away or a lucky escape.
surely brian McBride aswell..half them scottish lads Phil o'donnell, Simon Donnelly, Jackie McNamara, Shaun Maloney, john collins .

This thread could be compared to a funny question ive heard before:
Q. Does the pope sh*te in the woods?
A. Theres a possibility he could have, but he cant anymore.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
Paddy Crerand, Eddie and Frank Gray and Paul McStay were definitely qualified. On the retired "English" players front you could include Steve McMahon and Kevin Keegan. I think McMahon turned us down.
It's a bit of topic but I was told the following story about Lawrenson. At one stage we had Chris Hughton writing for the Socialist Worker newspaper and Lawrenson writing a sports column for Newsline which was the daily paper of the Workers Revolutionary party in the UK. He was allegedly asked shortly after joining Liverpool whether he had regrets about not declaring for England. The reply (according to the person who allegedly read it) was; "Not really, I would never have felt comfortable playing for an imperialist nation."
If true, its pretty difficult squaring this with his current "BBC pundit" persona. of course it could be a complete myth, but I was told it by my cousin who is now a lawer in Derry and therefore an absolute pargon of honesty and veracity.

I wouldn't want a bigoted, woman beating, alcoholic, drug taking individual representing us at any sport. I must admit to not being particularly moved by his fall from grace.
On the US players mentioned, while they have Irish names, Dempsey, McBride and others like Donovan and John O'Brien were not eligible. A few other recent US internationals were eligible e.g. Michael Parkhurst(father from Galway), Greg Berhalter(mother also from Galway)
