Not sure has this come up before, its not that hard but anyways
name an Ireland 11 with the surname of each beginning with K. They have to have played in the position.

**tetsujin1979** · 26/10/2006, 2:12 PM

off the top of my head:

GK:
Alan Kelly

DF:
Gary Kelly
Alan Kernaghan

MF:
Graham Kavanagh
Roy Keane
Kevin Kilbane

FW:
Robbie Keane
David Kelly

Alan Kelly

Gary Kelly - Alan Kernaghan -Roy Keane - Jeff Kenna

David Kelly - Robbie Keane

Well done, didnt take long.

**Stuttgart88** · 26/10/2006, 2:30 PM

More strictly adhering to positions:

GK:Kenny or Kearns

RB: Kenna/Kelly (Stephen or Gary)

CB: Kernaghan, Roy Keane (vs Iceland!)

LB: Kelly (Stephen or Gary)/ Kenna

MF: Kennedy (RM & LM), Keane Kinsella Kilbane (LM, CM) Mark Kelly (LM)

CF: Keane David Kelly

I'm sure Mark Kennedy has played on the right as well as left. Alternatively put Kilbane LM, CM, LB & CB (he played 3 different positions against Chile I think!)

Pretty sure Kennedy played on the right in the 2-1 win over yugoslavia in 1999, he definately came off the right wing to score that cracking goal

**Jamjar** · 26/10/2006, 2:35 PM

And of course Brian Kerr as manager.

**greendeiseboy** · 26/10/2006, 3:35 PM

and of course Krusty the Klown our current manager!!!!!!!!1

**Marked Man** · 27/10/2006, 1:25 AM

All home matches to be played in Kilkenny.

**Qwerty** · 27/10/2006, 1:50 AM

M anyone? Again must have played in the position.

(in no order across)
G: Joe Murphy (S****horpe)?????????????
D: Moran, McGrath, McCarthy, Morris
M: McAteer, McLoughlin, McGeady, McGoldrick
F: Morrison, Macken?
Subs: S McPhail, P McShane, D Murphy, L Miller, P McCarthy, A Maybury

Manager: McCarthy (I guess player-manager)

Dont forget for K Mark Kinsella

Joe Murphy is a former u21, I couldnt find any other Irish keepers
Obviously Macken is not the greatest choice but I couldnt remember any other Forwards

I'm sure Mark Kennedy has played on the right as well as left. Alternatively put Kilbane LM, CM, LB & CB (he played 3 different positions against Chile I think!)

He has, I'm sure, at least for Wolves (not sure about Palace)

Now is that Alan Kelly Snr or Alan Kelly Jrn as both kept goal for Ireland? They even have a portrait of the former across a stand which is named after him in Deepdale, Preston.

B Team

Bonner,
Babb, Breen, Paul Butler, Beglin,
Barrett, Brady, Thomas Butler**, Boland
Jason Byrne, John Byrne*

Manager: Pat Byrne

** Ex-Sunderland got 2 caps for us years ago

*the guy who played for Sunderland and scored in every round of the FA Cup in 1992 - think he played around 20 games for us.

Did Willie Boland ever play in the full team ?? If not I guess swap Babb for him and then bring in Shay Brennan

H team

Henderson
Hughton, Charlie Hurley, Harte, Jimmy Holmes
Heighway, Healy, Holland, Joe Haverty

I am shocked to think that Budgie Byrne, who scored the goal the Cascarino didn't against Turkey in our 3-1 win in Izmir in 1991, should ever be forgotten. Budgie was a roundy legend in the far too few games he played - I think I remember him getting two with a red ball against Wales in Wrexham when we played a friendly there on the local ice rink in 1992?

Oh, yeah, he didn't score in the final that year, and I think that they started in the third round, so not strictly true. But a legend nonetheless.
