A guy in my local!

LOTTOWINNER

Hi all,
A guy in my local says that 15 black players have played at full international level for Ireland, I can only think of 7, (but I'm certainly not an expert).
So my question is, is the guy in the pub incorrect or correct? by the way he didn't name any of the players.

He's right.

There's also that one about black Irishmen who've played in Wembley... everyone always forgets Phil Lynott!

Or Terry Phelan, of course

LOTTOWINNER

Terry Phelan , Curtis flemming ,Steven Reid, Phil Babb, Clinton Morisson, Paul (GOD) McGrath and Chris Heuton (spelling?)

That's all I can get, if this is a joke question, could someone tell me the punch-line.

Definitely one more I can name.

Goodman, isn't he a coloured man?

Xavi6

Liam George ever get a full cap?

Jon Goodman was black:eek::D

I can't think of any more...Did Caleb Folan ever get a cap? I don't think so? - pulled out injured of 2 recent squads

I'm very confused here.

Did an English bloke called Goodman get a cap for Ireland?

And was it this man?

Or someone else?

Nunu

No, I thought that's who you were thinking of alright!:D

It was this guy: http://www.viewimages.com/Search.aspx?mid=1034277&epmid=2&partner=Google

Are they not the same person?:eek:

They look kinda similar, don't they. Or am I a bit mental?


Are they brothers at least?

Ye, its his 'brother from another mother'.....they do look eerily similiar though. Sure if they had the same haircut you couldn't tell them apart.

Jon Goodman (the white one) got a cap, Don Goodman (the black one) didn't.

No, he didn't. Just spotted that he is playing for FC United now.

Evil_Clown

What about the Goalie from the 21's last night
has he ever got a senior call up
Just clutching at straws here

This is a joke , it is Black irish players that played at Lansdown road. The last one is Phil Lynott

Phil Lynott died in 1986

Roddy23

Kwame Ampadu

Kwame "Patrick" Ampadu only got U21 caps, never a full cap.

I'm dubious about this.

The first black full Irish international was Chris Hughton. I can't think of 14 more full internationals of african descent since Hughton.

1. Hughton
2. Paul McGrath
3. Phil Babb
4. Terry Phelan
5. Curtis flemming
6. Steven Reid
7. Clinton Morisson
8. Joe O'Cearuill

Thats it as far as I can make out. Lots of U21 players (Liam George for instance) never made it to the full team.

I can't even find anything on google.

Well if that's the case can we include Kinglsey Black who played there for Northern Ireland in 1993?

~Rebel~

Did Paul Osam ever get a cap?

Also did Phil Lynott ever actually play in Lansdown?

Osam was never capped and I'm pretty sure Lizzy never played Lansdowne?

gucci

george gregan played at landsdown road....just a different sport and for australia

Xavi6

Jason Robinson in that case, and the whole Nigerian team.......

If its a trick question the only thing I can see is, he never mentions soccer. so could it be all sports ?

What about my namesake, Stephen Kelly? If he's not at least partially black , then he doesnt ever wash himslef.

One Cold Hand

Sean Og O'hAilpin!
International rules. Partially black and the OP never said anything about Lansdowne....

I was asked this question in a pub last year but it was name 7, of which I named the first 7 on the list above although Terry Phelan took me about an hour to think of. I think Stephen Kelly can be added to the list so we have had 9 Full Irish black Internationals, Wont be the case in about 20 years when we have a full team of team of them, then we might win something!

Seaneh

Stephen kelly is black, well, kind of.

Did Randolph get a cap yet?

Who the **** is Emeka Onwubiko? that the lad at bray, if he is, he's a ****ing piss head, had to pull him out of a scrap in athlone after the u17 played chille.
