I don't know what he's said about playing for Ireland, but if he's playing well in a position where we are short of options, I don't see the point in writing him off completely.

I love it when these old threads appear. From page one "Alan O Brien" one to watch
I
I would certainly have another look at him. Thats what friendlies are for. Any option at left back is worth having atm.
Though i would be more keen to have a look at Marcos Painter or Stephen O'Halloran if either of them can get fit and playing regularly for Swansea
Damien Delaney has had 2 looks and has done well.
Have to hold my hands up on this one. Didn't realise Ward could play leftback, never mind actually doing it for Wolves. I always thought he was a forward. must watch them the next chance i get.
Is he someone who plays fullback, as well as further up the park (like Phil Neville), or is he someone who plays further up if given a choice, but can do a job at left full (like Kevin Kilbane)??
Did he ever play left full for Bohs?
This is the Mark Kennedy thread. Posts about up and coming (and worth watching) Irish full-backs should go elsewhere.

Gradually migrated back after a spell on the left wing last year. Said that he's never played there prior to Miick converting him, but has all the physcial attributes, overlaps well and has a good range of passing - needs to be guided slightly by the more experienceed centre halfs as it's not his natural position but is learning fast and is one to keep an eye on.
He seems to play wherever Wolves have the most players injured. He's only been a left back this season, I think, though I seem to remember him on the wing a couple of times at Bohs. I suspect the Kilbane comparison is closer to the truth for now, but perhaps he may settle at full back yet.
You can't spell failure without FAI
it was against Yugoslavia - beautiful goal. Was at that game that night and the atmosphere was incredible (even for an Irish game...!). Was buzzin for days afterwards. Keano got the first i think...
Kennedy was great for us for about a year around then. Really thought he would kick on and be an important player for us for years.

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Great talent but lacked the extra something to stay in the big time.
I've a vivid memory of an interview where he basically said he got really cheesed off with criticism from Irish fans and said he didn't think that playing for his country was worth that hassle.
