Football Questions..

Right, here we go -

Same idea as the previous question. Ireland have played two senior internationals in Tolka. When, against which country (it was the same country) and what were the scores?

I will say that the only way I came across this was checking up on the answer to the previous question (after I'd gotten it right!

) and probably wouldn't have gotten both otherwise. However, we're not talking obscure 1920s friendlies.

This is getting really strange. I actually would like to know how many people still have that programme, though. Maybe we could set up the foot.ie programme collectors club.

huh, that was unexpected. OK then... sticking with Irish internationals name ten Irish internationals to have played professional football on Mainland Europe. Provide clubs for bonus points!

**pineapple stu** · 28/03/2003, 1:19 PM

Mick McCarthy - Le Havre
Kevin Moran - Sporting Gijon
Frank Stapleton - Ajax
Liam Brady - Juventus (I think?!), Ascona
Johnny Byrne - Le Havre
Tony Cascarino - Marseille, Nancy, Red Star Paris
Don Givens - Neuchatel Xamax
Phil Babb - Sporting Lisbon
John O'Shea - Royal Antwerp
Robbie Keane - Internazionale

Ooooh yeah!!!!!!!!

C'mere - what about my question about the two Ireland games in Tolka? no-body answering that or does nobody know...?

That's actually wrong but I'll let it slide. He played for Lyon. Gary Waddock is another one who came to my mind.

There is another current international who played on mainland Europe. Any takers??

**sadloserkid** · 28/03/2003, 1:30 PM

Dave Connolly.

At a quiz a while back I answered that McCarthy had played for Lyon but the quizmaster guy sais it was 100% Marsaille?

Name the German player who played over 40 internationals scoring more goals than games played?

Gerd Muller scored 68 goals in 62 games for West Germany and Lyon is the right answer re:McCarthy. Name the Romanian keeper who failed to keep out any of Ireland's penalties in Genoa in 1990 (even Cascarino's daisy-cutter)
