Tets, another one to rack your brains. Nine Irish (republic of Ireland) players to have won the European Cup/CL?
Irwin, Keane*, Whelan, Finnan. Shay Brennan in 1968.
Heighway in 77? Potter in 2005? He was there alright.
John O'Shea in Moscow.
*Does Keane count?

Lawrenson, Beglin, Aldridge?...
They lost in 1985 and didn't win again until 2005.
Lawrenson in 1984 of course, duh. I think that predates Beglin and certainly Aldo. Was Michael Robinson in the 1984 team?
Ha, aye, I was getting a bit ahead of myself with Aldridge.
Beglin joined Liverpool in May of 1983 but didn't participate in 1984. He played in the 1985 final though.
Robinson was another winner.
Actually it was 10, I missed Finnan, or 11 if including Potter, but did he get a medal!
yeah, think so
There was another 1968. I cheated and looked on wiki.
Tony Dunne was in the Man U 1968 cup winning team.
Shame that you'd need to cheat to get that one.
I was one at the time. You were probably doing your Inter.
I did my inter in '71 or was it '72.
It is indeed tragic that you grew up without an acute awareness of your football/culture tradition.
I did my best despite a strict rugby upbringing. I wasn't dragged to Lansdowne Road, Dalymount and Milltown. I demanded it.
Keane didn't win it due to his suspension for the final but he did get one of the club's medal allocation. The nine winners who played or were on the bench (JOSh) were
Tony Dunne & Shay Brennan (1968)
Steve Heighway (1977 & 1978)
Whelan, Lawrenson and Robinson (1984)
Irwin (1999)
Finnan (2005) and
John O'Shea (as an unused sub but he did get a medal)
These days UEFA gives 40 winners' medals to the winning club so people like Charlie Gallacher (in Celtic's 1967 squad) and Eamon Deacy (Villa 1982) would have got a medal by today's standards.
