Good thread

Always have been curious what part of Dublin some of our homegrown players were from.

Can't believe Dalkey,Ballsbridge,Blackrock, Killiney weren't mentioned.

Shankill has been -pretty much Kiliney.

Perrystown is effectively a housing estate in the general Crumlin area (Dublin 12). I believe Niall Quinn himself refers to having grown up in Crumlin, when he doesn't use the name Perrystown.

not quite true, it effectively covers all areas from Crumlin cross to templeville road and was distinct from Crumlin as the houses were privately owned rather than corporation. Nice area to live

Dublin has pretty much always produced the backbone of the senior international team.

But which areas of Dublin have produced the most players? I'd like to get a list going on this, if possible.

Off the top of my head (please correct any inaccuracies):

Robbie Keane - Tallaght

Damien Duff - Rathfarnham/Ballyboden

Johnny Giles - Ormond Square (off the North Quays)

Ronnie Whelan - Finglas

Frank Stapleton - Artane (I think?)

Richard Dunne - Tallaght

Kenny Cunningham - Coolock

Liam Brady - Whitehall or surrounds (infamously went to St. Aidan's CBS there anyway)

Niall Quinn - Perrystown

Jeff Kenna - Palmerstown

Keith Andrews - I think I read he went to Ard Scoil Ris in Marino, so somewhere up that direction?

Darren O'Dea - went to St. Benildus College in Kilmacud, I think?

Anthony Stokes - Lucan

Paul McGrath grew up in an orphanage out Sallynoggin/Monkstown direction

What about the current players?

Robbie Brady - Baldoyle

Jeff Hendrick is Northside too, I think?

Darren Randolph - Bray (greater Dublin area)

Others?

Fairly sure himself and Judge went to Clonkeen.

O'Dea is from around Monsktown area knew a girl who used to date him before he went to Celtic
