Nothing daft on this topic. It's a genuine question and other people find it interesting. It's your loss.

John Hill, who was born in Belfast and played for the Glens in the 1970s, turned out for New Zealand in the 1982 World Cup.

Terry Moore, also born in Belfast, also played for the Glens, was in Canada's 1986 WC Squad.

I have the latter's now tight-fitting WC shirt.

Unsure why all those messages were deleted earlier in the thread?

However, it's bound to happen;Poles, Lithuanians, Nigerians etc. Good luck to them.
Move on and get over it.
