The Irish background players starring for England

[DJPunkRoc]

Fun fact, Rice did play for the senior Irish team.

I had honestly thought once you played senior for one you couldn't pick another.

Rice goes with anything.

Taytos?

Greasy's grandad (maybe Great Grandad) played for England though, so I suspect they were English and then went to Ireland.

Did he?  Never knew that - what was his name?

I never knew but here you go. He played for the Albion as well as the Villa- Billy Garrity.

Looking at Grealish's wiki he has very strong Irish connections both sides of his family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Garraty

From Leo Burdocks after Bono and The Pope have picked up their suppers?

Turns out I was a great short, so it was his double great grandad, who was born in Saltley and played for us and them. TBF he'd never get in our side now, 22 goals in 53 games, no chance we'd have a scorer like that playing!

He played three senior friendly matches, you're only tied down after a competitive appearance (or that was the case at the time, they changed it since then but I can't remember if the one time switch is affected).

I had no idea they were different.  Surely they're the same company, Shirley?

Nope.

Completely different companies with completely different production.
