Keane-Inter
John Byrne-Le Harve
Ronnie OBrien-Miselanneous-lecco,Juve,Dallas Burn,Lugano.
Has to be a few obvious omissions!
any youth players?
Any close signings that fell through?
apart from ur most glaring omission a certain chippy brady i think there was some talk on the eL board of an u 18 international of a few years ago being on the books of sampdoria
although if one was to take ur question at face value all our internationls except glen crowe play abroad
If you check the Football Trivia post in this forum (around page 9), all the players are listed. You can add in Ronnie O'Brien (Juventus and Grasshoppers Zurich) and Niall Quinn (almost moved to Sporting Lisbon, but it fell through)
Doh, you have Ronnie O'Brien already - didn't see that...
The others we came up with were -
Mick McCarthy - Lyon
Liam Brady - Juventus, Inter, Sampdoria, Ascoli
Tony Cascarino - Marseille, Nancy, Red Star Paris
Don Givens - Neuchatel Xamax
Phil Babb - Sporting Lisbon
John O'Shea - Royal Antwerp
Dave Connolly - Excelsior, Feyernoord
Mickey Walsh - FC Porto
Noel Campbell - Fortuna Köln.
Gary Waddock - Charleroi

Shame on the Cork Ciry fans for missing Pat Morley for Sunshine St George in Australia and Anthony Buckley with some yankee team or are you only counting internationals?
As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.
Martin Sheehan, who played so successfully for Cork Hibs, played for a while in S. Africa.
Does that count?
