henderson in ireland squad

[chez]

EXCELLENT news.

Have we had more capped IRISH players than ENGLISH players whilst at the club ??

#

As far as I can remember we've only ever had Steve Foster in the England squad. Irish internationals I can remember are Gerry Armstrong, John Byrne, Steve Penny(?). Cant think of any more off the top of my head.

I think DK has done some good business here and Wayne will be going the way Darren Currie went.

As an international the 20-30k we spent will become 300k in a year or 2 when Ipswich or Boro need a keeper.

Couldn't agree more I think that was the thinking behind buying him either or. Either we stay up and he will be an asset or we get relegated and we can sell him and make money.

I personally dont see why everyone is raving about him.

Wasnt Kuipers dropped after conceding too many goals in too few games?
Well surely thats no worse than Hendo's record?

Anyway,im just making a point,i think he's a good keeper and well done for getting in the Ireland squad.

It would be good to see Reidy make the Aussie squad for the world cup as well.

Remember a bloke called Ward ? Mark Lawrenceson was in the Eire squad and wan't Gerry Ryan ? Willie Irvine played for Northern Ireland and scored the winner against England at Wembley. I'm sure there were others too. Peter O'Sullivan had a run out for Wales didn't he ?

Jimmy Langley played for England but I am not sure if he was still with us or had left for QPR.

In the 60s we signed Bobby Smith from Spurs having played for England in March we signed him 5 months later for reputedly £5,000 plus pay off his gambling debts.

I think the only players who ever played for England whilst at the Albion were Tommy Cook, Peter Ward and Steve Foster.

Well Done Wayne

Wardy was never in the England squad was he? I know he scored a hatrick for the under 21's but I never thought he made it to the first team. Thought I'd mentioned Gerry Ryan but had forgotten about Lawro, mind you he never seems to remember playing for us so why should we !!

Nope dropped for his poor distribution

And lets face it has always been the weak spot of Michels game

 

[BensGrandad]

Always a ray of f***ing sunshine aren't you!

I am sure that most of you either do not realise or do not want to realise how near we are to bankruptcy.

This club could fold at any time if we upset one creditor. Why do you think all the players have been sold and virtually nobody brought in.

Sunderland's Liam Lawrence and Manchester City's Stephen Ireland have won their first call-ups to the Republic of Ireland squad.

New Ireland boss Steve Staunton has included the duo his first squad for next month's friendly with Sweden.

Lawrence qualifies for Ireland through his grandparents and he has decided to pledge his allegiance to Staunton's side.

Manchester City youngster Ireland fell out of the reckoning under former boss Brian Kerr, but he has been given the chance to impress under Staunton.

Tottenham defender Stephen Kelly, Bolton defender Joey O'Brien, Leeds midfielder Jonathan Douglas and Brighton goalkeeper Wayne Henderson have all been promoted from the Under-21 squad.

Full squad:
Given (Newcastle), Kenny (Sheff Utd), Henderson (Brighton), Breen (Sunderland), Harte (Levante), Finnan (Liverpool), A O'Brien (Portsmouth), Dunne (Man City), Miller (Leeds), Kilbane (Everton), Reid (Blackburn), Duff (Chelsea), Keane (Tottenham), Morrison (Crystal Palace), Kavanagh (Wigan), Doyle (Reading), Ireland (Man City), Elliott (Sunderland), Lawrence (Sunderland), J O'Brien (Bolton), Kelly (Tottenham), O'Shea (Man Utd), Douglas (Leeds).

Played against Australia in 1980.

Tony Grealish was captain for Eire for a while. Also, Kieran O'Regan and Gary Howlett played for Eire.

[BensGrandad]

At the Goldstone they had a board with a list of all internationls that Brighton players appreared in and if my memory serves me well Gery Ryan received the most caps whilst playing for Brighton.

 

[Armchair Loyalist]

Graham Barrett ? Sure he played for Eire whilst on loan with us

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Nice one Wayne. Come on Ireland.

:thud: :thud:

Oh we have some financial problems do we..... I hadn't noticed!

I just thought the club sent out begging letters last season to fill Dick Knights pockets!

Steve Penney now holds the record with 17 caps
