Started for me with Willie Humphries, then we had Dave Clements a huge factor in our 1967 promotion year sadly sold on but went on to captain Everton for a while & Northern Ireland.It's been a while since we have had a few Irish lads in the first team squad and it was about time that we did. Same can actually be said for Welsh players. I had to laugh at the interview with one of the players, the reporter asked if he was looking forward to following in the footsteps of many famous Irish players at the club like Keane, Doyla and Breen, really Doyle? We have had some good players and I particularly liked Gerry Daly.

I’m assuming he means that as Ireland are part of the Common Travel Agreement and therefore not bound by the same post-Brexit freedom of movement restrictions that it is recruitment area that we should be exploring? Or not.Why is it 'about time' that we had Irish players in our squad?

I've got a good feeling about maguire. Watch this space.It's been a while since we have had a few Irish lads in the first team squad and it was about time that we did.

Donal Murphy was about that time?Does anyone remember Jim Hagan coming over in 1977 as a youngster. i remember it clearly in the CET, but there was also another Irish lad that came over at the same time, does anyone remember?
Donal Joined the club as an apprentice in 1970.Donal Murphy was about that time?
With a surname like O'HARE he must have some Irish blood in him and hasn't played for England so could play for Ireland. After all Ireland take anyone these days.
