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? ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

David O'Leary was Finglas too, I think? Kevin Moran was Drimnagh and went to both James's Street CBS and Drimnagh Castle. Be interesting to see what schools have produced the most internationals, too. Stokes was Terenure College. Could do up an all-time Northside v Southside list at the end of all this. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

Thanks. Jeff Kenna grew up down the same road from me in Palmerstown. His younger brother Warren was in my primary school class in Chapelizod National School up to the end of fourth class in 1990 and Jeff used to come in the odd time to talk to the class about what it was like tying to make it as a professional footballer. The family left to go over to Southampton in 1990 from what I remember. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

I dont know of any Santry Internationals though, despite St Kevins providing numerous players. Liam brady is probably the closest to my gaff, he was from Whitehall/Ellenfield
