Liverpool RB. Irish parents apparently http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fl..._footballer%29

Already a thread on him, already established he's not Irish. The reference on the wiki says nothing about Irish parentage. What a strange wiki to vandalise

Looks half decent in fairness to him.

From the original thread on him:

The Wiki article says:

Born in Liverpool, John was born to Irish parents Peggy and Eoin. Eoin who also played for Liverpool Youths, ended up playing for Tranmere Rovers.

After a quick search on Google, I can't find any mention of an Eoin Flanagan having ever played for Tranmere, so I'm guessing the whole thing might well be made up. Peculiar all the same.
