Has Niall Quinn set a new record?

[CraftyToePoke]

If I was a Sunderland fan I'd wonder about Quinn priorities, here are his remarks on Lawrence after playing a pre-season friendly:"I want Liam to be doing it on the wing for Ireland as well as Sunderland and I really feel that he can kick on and do things for both. He showed signs at Carlisle of what he is capable of and I know all about the ability he has got."Nice that he remembered Sunderland,

maybe he is just giving the lad a public boost, qwerty, maybe he is a confidence player. and any by-product of Lawrence playing for us will have been him standing out for Quinn at sunderland, which can only be good news for Quinn and his new club.

Quinn does view the world through green tinted shades alright but id be surprised if he was as naieve as to try to run sunderland from an Irish angle solely. and theres nothing wrong with having a club of that size that is Irish-friendly anyway, as long as its sucessfull.

on that very matter, leicester is today full of the rumour that Maybury may be bound for the stadium of light, but i stress, its just rumour at the mo, threre may well be nothing in it.

The Villa 4, Stan, McGrath, Townsend and Houghton all played together at the WC'94

Has Niall Quinn set a new record? He played 6 Irish internationals against Birmingham - Cunningham, Clarke, Delap, Lawrence, Elliott & Murphy. I can't remember more than 4 in any previous English team sheet.

Clarke conceded a penalty on his debut, nice one son.

Murphy again looked decent enough and Elliott will score if he gets a decent supply.

He has a long was to go before the threatens McCarthy's record with Sunderland.

Arsenal's FA Cup winning side in 1979 had Jennings, Brady, Rice, Nelson, Stapleton and O'Leary - 3 full ROI and 3 full NI internationals.

And Arsenal also had Devine playing for them around that era as well.

Recently Sheffield Wednesday had Partridge, Coughlan, Whelan, Corr and Murphy all on the same team. None is a full international though

[shelbourne1904]

As regards the record, not all those players already mentioned played in the team at the same time. The record I always thought was in West Brom's glory days, we had 4 of them playing at the same time against France 1976.
Mulligan, Martin, Giles and Treacy

Was Grealish not there for a while also??

[geysir]

Yeah, Grealish went to West Brom sometime in ´83 I think.
For record purposes it doesn't count as then he was the only West Brom player on the Irish team.

Hopefully Maybury wont be moving really dont rate him at all .. I think all quinny was doing was giving Lawrence a boost saying he is good enough to be able to make it internationally if we he gets more consistent. Looks like Spurs have rebuffed our bids for andy reid today . Pity would have been a great signing .

5 in the top division with Middlesborough.

Morris, Kavanagh, Slaven, Kernaghan, Moore,

..& I think I am forgetting another!

Was that most Irish on a team record not set by Boro back in the early 1990's.
6 I think it was and the only one I recall was Alan Kernighan(SP)

Beat me too it by 2 mins Paddy,
Was Fleming possibly involved ?

/awaits barrage of abuse for such a stupid suggestion/

[tetsujin1979]

Sundeland had Kilbane, Thornton, Reddy and Babb at the same time, although they might not have played together

[Billsthoughts]

did the brighton and hove albion team have a few in 83 cup final??????
any old farts remember this?? Owlsfan?? Stuttgart?? ........NeilMcd???

[monutdfc]

Defo Gary Howeltt (1 cap v China) and I think Tony Grealish captained the side in place of the suspended Steve Foster for the drawn game

[Billsthoughts]

Michael "fav band = the wolfe tones" Robinson as well no?
deffo some other lad in there as well....

[Metrostars]

1983 FA Cup Final lineup:

MANCHESTER UNITED: Bailey, Albiston, McQueen, Moran, Duxbury, Wilkins, Murhen, Davies, Robson, Whiteside, Stapleton
BRIGHTON: Mossley, Ramsey, Pearce, Grealish, Foster, Gatting, Stevens, Howlett, Robinson, Smith, Smillie

Plus I think Ashley Grimes was United's sub.

[OwlsFan]

Since you refer to me in such a favourable tone I shall respond.That Brighton cup final is a sore point with me because they beat Wednesday in the semi-final.

I can't really remember which Irish played for them other than Robinson and Tony Grealish.

According to reports in the paper Quinn has signed Alan Maybury
All i can say is lucky hes the chairman in a normal situation
signings like that can get you the sack.
