Anyone who's ever played for Northern Ireland.
Willie Maley played for Scotland.
Any others
Anyone who's ever played for Northern Ireland.
My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method, is love. I love you Sheriff Truman.
Kyran Bracken in rugby.
Thomas Mitchell in cricket.
Also I think there is a current Australian international rugby player/swimmer who was born in Ireland but emigrated when he wavs very young.
No soccer player that I know of. O'Brien in the MLS would have been the closest call recently.

i represented Laos in a soccer world cup tournament here.
does that count? i think me and Willie could be the only irish born soccer players to ever represent another country.
nice wan.
Jack Reynolds played for Ireland and then later played for England after he said he was actually born in Blackburn, although brought up in Antrim
I can't think of any myself off the top of my head, but we start seeing a few in about 10 years.

Owen Nolan (ice hockey) is from Northern Ireland but represents Canada I think
My Guarantee
Am looking for old Irish matches on VHS, PM me if you have some and I'll upload them here
Some guy played in goal for someone in Carribean, think it was Turks & Coco Islands. Played in their world cup qualifirers a few years back, against USA.
He was from Dublin, moved there with his work, banking or something. So maybe it was Caymen Islands even.
Will try look it up
I remember reading a newspaper article where Alan Lee was considering declaring for the US of A prior to his first cap for us.
Ed Joyce was born and raised in BRay before declaring for England for the Cricket World Cup last year.
The glass isn't half full or half empty it's just too damn big!
I know a lad who's played international football for the Turks and Caicos Islands.
He was asked to head back one weekend to play in the World Cup on the Saturday, and for the rugby team on the Sunday, but he had repeats on, so had to give it a miss.
But I'd say fairly few overall. Laurence Roche (cycling) is one that springs to mind - he races for France, and is Stephen's son.
In the 1960´s there was a top class marathon runner (from Limerick?) called Jim Hogan who competed for Britain. He had an Irish accent, so heavy that they needed an interpreter to translate it. He won a Euro gold medal but failed to deliver on expectations in the Olympics.
I seen a setanta documentary on an Irish lad playing for Kazakhstan in rugby WC qualifiers.
I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
