This is probably
a really stupid question,but can anyone name any of the present England team that could have played for us. Just wanted to add to my collection one more thing on how emigration has affected our nation.

**tricky_colour** · 09/04/2005, 11:51 PM

They would have to be good enough before they could play

If these guys were desperate enough to play for Ireland, they would have. Imagine if we did have Kevin Keegan, Martin Keown, Wayne Rooney and anyone else who donned the three lions on his chest and if is the key word. C'mon lads, if these guys really wanted to play for Ireland, they would have, end of story.
