Paul O'Shea and I attended a talk last May / June with MON and RK. We both got a chance to ask a question but in hindsight I wished I had asked whether either of them, blessed with the same talent and work ethic, would have been able to "make it" in today's globalised Premier League. Each got to play leading roles at league and European Cup winning clubs from a young age. Could the same thing happen if they were young Irish players with the same abilities today?
