Im sure 2 or 3 of the England squad in 66 had an Irish parent or grandparent.

Names like Connolly, Byrne, Callaghan etc

Indeed, Brown's ancestors left Scotland for Argentina in 1825. 

Carlos MacAllister had both Irish and Scottish ancestry. The fact that MacAllister's ancestors did not drop the "a" from the Mac suggests they came from the Highlands. Possibly victims of the Highland Clearances.
