To name but a few. The Protestant/Unionist community in Northern Ireland have provided any number of players to Man U over the years.
Jonny Evans.
Back up defender Mal Donaghy was as good as it ever got for Catholics from the wee six at Old Trafford, or Cold Trafford, as it was known among Northern Catholics.
Liverpool the club of Brendan Rodgers and Conor Bradley and Belfast Celtic legend Elisha Scott.
Weād currently have high hopes for young Trent KonĆ©-Doherty from Derry.
Devout catholic Sir Matt Busby certainly didnāt discrimate on religious grounds.
Was Ronnie Whelan the first Irish Catholic to sign for liverpool?
Jaysus the Red Devils are hurting.
Steve Heighway is Irish. No idea or care to know his religion.
Bill Lacey from Wexford played for liverpool in the 1910s.
Just something I was led to believe down through the years. Tommy Smith, a catholic, is on record as saying his coach told him he wouldnāt be happy at iverpool as it was a protestant club.
Others seem to want to deny the historic links between the city of liverpool and the orange order.
But itās very important to know his religion too bud
Thereās very little evidence to suggest religion played any part in either Liverpool or Everton. Both were founded by Presbyterians and the man that founded Liverpool had Orange links. He was previously chairman of Everton.
The city has strong Irish protestant links and also Catholic. Itās a port city and was the first stop for a lot of poor wretched souls during and post famine . Itās a real Irish city in many ways and has maintained itās Orange culture also tho itās much smaller than it used to be.
Well he did play for Linfield as well 
Itās not the 19th century any more bud.
Leave religious fanaticism to the Burkes and Muslims
I asked a question mate, without judgement.
As @Copper_pipe will know, thereās an orange lodge about a mile from Anfield/ Goodison.
Yeāll be welcome in tomorrow. They gave myself and the Ratoath boys a mighty welcome before.
Thatās crazy isnāt it. Shows how quick it can turn. Literally 2 years after that Liverpool were run away champions and united an absolute laughing stock. Probably 90 minutes after that actually 
Itās all about the narratives. I love the way it turns in the space of ten minutes on the likes of the newstalk Saturday show.
Forest score against chelsea ger Gilroy and the lads ābig ange is really putting his stamp on that team I wonder could he be in line for the united jobā two quick Chelsea goals heās an absolute plum getting the sack on Monday.
90% of Liverpudlians have irish heritage of some sortā¦ either green or orange. Thatās the long and short of it. Itās never played a part in either football club. This chat that Everton were Catholic and Liverpool protestant doesnāt stand up ā¦ Everton were known as St. Domingos originally as they were formed by methodists from nearby St. Domingosā¦ not that unusual in the UK
Big John Duggan and Shane Keegan control the narrative like few others can
And played internationally for the irish free state soccer team. A plaque in his honour is in Enniscorthy near where he was born. Havent a clue of his religion, no reason to think he was protestant over catholic anyway. He wasnt the only player to play for linfield at the time when football stopped in england and irish players went back to belfast.
But anyway, the shite of religion of soccer clubs in england is pure footix, so Iāll leave it at that.
Itās a weird little sub culture
Could Paddy Footix keep his sectarian point scoring out of discussions on our English football league please. John Bull doesnāt care.
Sesko took Seamus for his confirmation name
