I thought he does, but he didn't reckon that third generation was enough to make him feel Irish.

The ones that got away should be players who were considering playing for us, i mean Rio, Anton, Keown etc etc never had any intention of playing for us!
Plus there are a few suspect names on there who i'd have my doubts they were eligible to play for us in the first place. As for the likes of Knight, Gallen, Kitson etc etc "getting away" , more like lucky escape for us!!

Doesn't Keown say he was brought up very Irish and it kind of just a progession that he played for England but he always felt Irish. He would be a player I would say did get away as we probably could have swayed him if we got in early.
Edit: Jack tried to call him up before he played a senior game for England but he had played underage for England and at the time you couldn't switch.
I would imagine the fact that players could not switched back then made us lose out to a lot of players since at the time there would have been many people born around the 60's, 70's and 80's that were 2nd generation Irish. When it gets to 3rd generation the lust to play for us shrinks Edited by t_rAndy - 07 Mar 2013 at 4:57pm |

Yeah he wanted to play for us, was it not something to do with his under age caps with England? His parents are from Fermanagh I believe, does he not visit there fairly often?

Wasn't Steve Bruce more or less told by Fergie to declare for England as at the time, you could only have 3 "foreigners" in European competition and United already had Schmeichael, Cantona and Keane?
