I got 120 something before running out of time, had it there been non time limit or a generous 60 minutes Id have gotten 170-180 but there are at least a dozen names in there you'd never get. Great quiz though!

Tom Cannon qualifies for the EIRE via an Irish granny. He is a scouser by birth.

15 mins isnt enough time, only got 85 in. 

I thought i was nailing the tough ones until i revealed the list at the end. Jaysis. Scott Fitzgerald, Brian Launders. 
Have extended it to twenty minutes, and surnames are accepted as answers now

I think the only player on the list to have never played for, or at least been called up by Ireland at any level is Rory Ginty from Galway.

Played for Crystal Palace in the Premier League, including against Liverpool, but was never called up by Ireland at any age group. Now living and working back in Galway.

Do all those players have Ireland caps?
No, but all will have either been born in Ireland, or have underage, or B caps

They definitely won't all have senior caps - I'd say 50+ are uncapped at senior level, but almost all if not all will either have senior caps, underage caps or been in an Ireland squad at some point.
