Gerry Armstrong

 

[gjh1971]

Brian McKenna

 

[dangull]

A lot of these Irish players were only Irish because of parents and grand parents. Tyson Fury and myself as well.

 

[reigate]

Frank Stapleton. Well passed it

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Frank Stapleton. Well passed it

Yeah, a good passer of the ball. Had a good shot on him too.

 

[Megazone]

Adam Blayney

Wayne Henderson

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Jim Heggarty.
Roy Keane doesn't count as he never turned up for his trial.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Aaron Hughes.

 

[Eeyore]

John Byrne

Greatest Irishman ever to wear the dstripes.

Lancastrian. Mind you, Lawrenson could also claim that.

 

[BensGrandad]

4 crap ones Joe Carolan, Ocreall (sp) on loan from Arsenal, Leon Best and Shamir Goodwin/Fenelon. Wasnt there a Pat Byrne the name rings a bell.

 

[BensGrandad]

Anton Rodgers.

 

[jmsc]

Steve Penney!

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Joe O'Cearuill is the first that pops to mind, which is a little odd considering he was less than impressive.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

George O'Callaghan was fairly crap for us, fell out with Dick Knight over wages when we were looking to turn his loan move in a permanent deal.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Ooo Arrr Derek McGrath

 

[mona]

Mark Yeates on loan from Spurs. He ran around with his head down. Described by some on NSC as being on another level to the rest of the team. This was meant to be a compliment. In reality a bit of a headless chicken.

 

[Grassman]

John Byrne

Greatest Irishman ever to wear the stripes.

On par with Gerry Ryan, for me.

 

[BigGully]

Gerry Ryan is etched within the clubs history and as a Sussex resident many of us have shared a chat with this affable guy.

But I am struggling to get him into the 'best' category, sadly.

 

[pishhead]

Paul McCarthy had a decent career after nearly making nearly 200 appearances for us he was part of the Wycombe side that went on a great cup run in the early 2000's.

Joe O'Cearuill is the first that pops to mind, which is a little odd considering he was less than impressive.

Ah yes, one of the worst players ever to wear the stripes (and there's some stiff competition). Frank Stapleton was another, of course, although in his defence, he was a decent player for other clubs. Just not us.
