Wasted Irish Internationals

Liam Miller had he stayed at celtic and not fecked off to man u, was initially going to Liverpool and Roy found out and took him to OT, watched him for celtic in the champions league and there was a player in there, head turned instead of establishing himself and then making the move, another year at celtic would have made him a better player given the quality there at the time

alan kelly: should hav been number 1 for us 94, was number 1 for euro 96 qualifiers and was brilliant, so unlucky that shay came along.

Dean Kiely: terrific keeper, unlucky to be around the same time as shay.

gerry peyton: rumour is it that bonner was picked ahead of him because he was a better kicker, stood in for bonner superbly most memorably in us cup 92 where he put in outstanding performances against portugal and usa.

Phil babb: was brilliant at start of career, his later appearances were mostly forgettable but on his day like against argentina 98 he cud be genuine international class.

Liam o brien: very gifted footballer, showed glimpses of what he cud do over the years, like against wales in 1992 and russia 1994.

alan mcloughlin: an underrated player who was capable of playing in the premier league and who shone under mick mccarthys earlier games.

bernie slaven: a regular scorer at all levels in england, none other than johny giles was calling for him to be picked ahead of john aldridge at once stage.

tommy coyne: hardworking and intelligent footballer who was very sharp in the box.

david kelly: had a brilliant understanding with niall quinn and a good soring record for ireland.

As the thread says, "wasted". What a talent, but what a waster. Billy Big Mouth.

He was never actually capped either, so he probably doesn't belong in the thread.

He made nearly 500 club appearances over his career. Perhaps he underachieved at Man U, but it's hard to argue that he could have done much better than he did with Ireland. 83 caps, two WC's and a Euros. He was arguably the most influential player of the Charlton era.
