I know you're being a little flippant but it's still worth noting that all but one of Wes Hoolahan's caps came when he was in his thirties, Jon Walters scored all but one of his fourteen goals after his 29th birthday, John Aldridge was thirty before he scored for us and is our joint fourth-highest scorer, while Robbie Keane racked up 29 international goals after turning 29. So if Judge does show better form than Kelly, Ronan, Browne, Manning etc. over the next twelve months, then he should be considered ahead of them for the next Euro qualifiers as he's probably got two, maybe three, campaigns left in his career.
