Born in Cork - may be worth keeping an eye on or even letting the FAI know about!

Sounds like he has a good future ahead of him. 18 years old, 6'2, 13 & 1/2 stone, good technically (according to the yanks). Might see him in the MLS soon.

I was listening, thinking this is interesting, then he says... "well he's only 8 years old yet" FFS... I thought he was some young lad about to burst onto the international scene...

Found out recently he's a 2nd or 3rd cousin of mine. His oul lad and mine are first cousins, so whatever that works out as. Bask in my reflected glory!!

He's a first cousin of Cliff Byrne too on the other side of his clan. By all accounts a nice youngfella.
