    Springett, Tony (F b.2002 Norwich City)

    Spotted Tony Springett was on the bench for Norwich. Realistically, it would have been a lot more useful seeing him play for the u20 team than for example Kyle Robinson

    Not since 2019, he was named in an U18 squad - https://www.fai.ie/ireland/news/irel...den-tournament
    Has both the tricolour and the union jack in his twitter profile, which is odd - https://twitter.com/springett_t
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    Springett is not listed as Irish on the official Premier League stats page incidentally, he has been added to the stats as an English player today.

    Now there is a good example of the ideal world dual player interview.
