Great record at international level playing with a pile of wank so credit where credit is due in that respect. Scored against a lot of big nations too. Spain, England & Sweden to name a few.

Wasn't he involved in playing the imaginary flute during a pre season friendly for Fulham around the time of the marching season? Or am I thinking of someone else??

He tried to mimic playing a flute but one of his hands was the wrong way round, a plastic Loyalist! Seriously lads, it was banter with the Celtic fans, give some take some eh?

With a name like Healy I am sure they love the soup.

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed. the little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head. the stars in the bright sky looked down where Hea-ly Hea-ly Hea-ly!

we give out about the Nordy fans.

David Healey comes up as he's retired and it's all sh*t his family have done, playing an IMAGINERY TIN WHISTLE. I mean for f**ks sake. Try explaining that's offensive to some foreigner, they'd think your a fecking right dunce.

Hat trick against Spain.
36 goals in 95 games
Top scorer in a qualifying campaign

That's a remarkable achievement for a player that did next to nothing at club level.

great chant

I was at that game and remember it. He was warming up and Celtic fans were singing Where were you on the 12th! He did the flute thing for a few seconds and most took it as a laugh but some just got irate after the event for the sake of it. Bants as the yoof say!
