In the 3/4 years leading up to the 2002 world cup it was our weakest position. We had Kenny Cunningham in there who was playing RB for his club and Gary Breen who struggled to get game time at Coventry and always had concentration lapses (somewhat glossed over due to a fabulous world cup). Stan later was moved to CB and did very well there in the WC. Dunne played a bit for us there during that period and put in good performances for a young lad but only really established himself after 2002. 

Clark is very likable but a bit like Breen, has a mistake in him.

he'd be a mainstay for a championship side but never more than a backup at premier level i feel, partially because he's quite injury prone. 
He went through tough battles in Villa's perennial relegation battles under a series of crap managers. He's definitely EPL standard. Experience and skill wise, he's well ahead of what Long has shown so far. Your comments are typical and reinforce my belief that Clark is probably the most unappreciated player to pull on an Irish jersey in recent times.   

Underrated as well, think he was very unlucky at Villa to play under McLeish/Lambert just after MON blinding spell (did OK with GH)

He absolutely has a part to play in the WC 2022 journey imo, if fit. Versatile enough as well
I don't agree with THAT, in the workplace!

Clark was solid at the back. Hendrick his usual inept nonentity of a self and the most ineffectual player on the pitch.

last one I can find in a league game is when Enda Stevens and David McGoldrick scored for Sheffield United in a 3-0 win against Hull in April 2019: https://www.sufc.co.uk/news/2019/april/hull-report/

hasn't happened in the premier league since December 2016: https://twitter.com/irish_abroad/status/1339298016780488704

8 matches in a row now for Clark.

For me you have to pick your inform players at the highest level.

Even if Duffy was playing well for Celtic, for me Clark and Egan are ahead of him as they are playing regularly at a much higher level.

With O’Shea playing in the EPL we have good options at CB.
