There is a John Flanagan starting for Liverpool tonight.
Very Irish sounding surname though my gut instinct is he is not eligible.
Can't find anything on google.
18 Year old right back.

Foster N. Allen?
(by the way, i also just mentioned Flanagan on the Irish Abroad thread as i dont think we should be starting threads on every fellah with an Irish sounding name!!)

can't say I have seen or heard Flanagan yet.Anyhow I feel better knowing Given isn't in goal but I doubt he would have saved the 2 goals
I saw.
The Irish abroad name is a bit confusing for me as I am in England!! ( and for you too perhaps!!).
Also information tends to get 'buried' in those kind of threads, hence why I didn't see it.

You can merge this thread into the the Irish abroad if you like mods.
He got a bit of praise for some defending at the end of the first half, appreciation from the crowd etc..
We really need to start qualifying for tournaments if we are to get any of these ''prospects'' - IMO. No harm in going after him though.

I think I heard in the commentary that he was on the bench for three of Liverpool's Europa League fixtures this season. If he was eligible to play for Ireland, I'd imagine someone would have caught on by now.
You would think that but nobody from the FAI copped on to Ciaran Clark until Richard Dunne did.

I was thinking pretty much the same really, the fact I had not heard mention of him on here does not give me much optimism.
got this email from a mate watching the game...
Hey, this Flannigan or somebody at right back for Liverpool has had a great first half. At least i think he's right back, he's been overlapping and down the wing nicely knocking some good balls in.
We've already got a player like that on Merseyside.
Unusual for a Premiership starter not to have a bit of underage international history. A quick google but I couldn't find anything.
Seems to be a tough tackling fullback from what I've read, in the mould of Carragher, Tommy Smith etc...
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

Hmm seems to be an irish footballer despite being english born. Check it on his wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fl..._footballer%29
Ok that was changed about 30 seconds ago to english player only - oh well :P Confirmed here http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/team/first...-john-flanagan
Well says nothing there really, apart from born in Liverpool and nationality is listed as English.
An anonymous and unreferenced edit on Wikipedia that has since been deleted appears to be the only online reference to any Irish heritage the lad might have. I'd rather something more concrete.
His ears looks Irish.
that was added a few minutes ago by some loser on an IP Address 93.174.93.145 who also made contributions to the following topics...
This seems to be his twitter account, he seems to have given up after a few days though
