Never heard of him, seems to have been born in london and judging by the picture doesnt look very irish, but check out his name.

Anyone know anything about him?

Or his parents may both be Irish AND dark skinned.

Imagine that!

Most likely its a granny rule case mind you.

Wow. I only know a handful of people who look Irish so.

Pretty sure he isn't irish or 2cd/3rd gen. Remeber reading it somewhere. But I can't find any links to back me up

I think it's pretty easy to spot the Irish. I'd notice most Polish people when I'm strolling down town.

I'm sure if this chap had Irish links and wanted to play for us he'd have underage caps by now. Especially with Brady working for Arsenal.

You can tell by his skin tone he is a half cast. Irish dad or single parent irish mother.

Jason Sherlock, O'Hailpin Bros, Paul McGrath..... they're Irish.

You're confusing nationality with genetic make up

Or an Irish granny, or two dark Irish parents. Jesus lads, you're living in the 60's

Don't get all PC on us now psi, no one meant anything racist by it.

But I recall hearing that name before and someone saying that he's not Irish - can't confirm it, but I'm nearly sure.

I'm not suggesting they did, I'm just making th every clear point that you cannot tell how Irish someone is from looking at them. Irish is a nationality, not a race.

psi: point made.
