Stoke City’s most well-known Irish XI

Hey lads,

I put together an all-time Potters' starting 11 of Irish players who played for Stoke.

Is there anyone I'm missing or should be in here?

I'd have thought Terry Conroy was the best know irish international at Stoke, certainly the best remembered by the fans

Graham Kavanagh would be in there ahead of Andrews I'd think

Possibly alongside Conroy as the best known Irish player at Stoke over history would be Brendan O Callaghan who could play as a forward or central defence when called upon which was quite unique even in the seventies!

Absolutely. Terry Conroy was a legend with his flaming red hair and leggy runs. Without looking, I suspect he was the second most capped Stoke player after Whelan. I don't count Given who has yet to get a cap while at Stoke.
