Colin Hawkins is someone I was sure would go on to play for Ireland. 8 U21 caps to his name and ended up a journeyman. One classy and very intelligent player Clap

Keith O'Neill surely belongs here. Great midfielder who's career was cut short by injury. What could have being??

Stephen Ireland for me, could have been a top player for us until his grandmothers "died"

Good shout.  Has Alan Mahon been mentioned? Was convinced he was going to be top class and he only ended up with 2 caps.

Great player for us and a real pity. I seem to remember him playing up front for us with Quinn, but is a midfielder by trade. He's still only 40 despite having retired from football 14 years ago, sad.

Richie Sadlier, promising career cut short by injury. Got one cap vs the USA in the rain pre 2002wc I think?

O'Neill didn't track back and mark his man for corner v Macedonia for Euro qualifier in 2000 and they scored in the last seconds.
We would have qualified automatically.
I don't think McCarthy ever forgave him but he did suffer with injuries.

I remember the image of Denis Irwin screaming abuse at O'Neill as the ball nestled in the back of the net. As you know Irwin wasnt usually that vocal.

I think Sadlier was a fair enough player, but I don't remember anyone being all that excited by him at the time. Maybe he was in the shadow of Robbie somewhat, but he always seemed likely to be a journeyman. Much better journalist than player in my book
You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive:
I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995"
