As good a technical footballer as Ireland has produced over the last 20 years. Wonderful left foot on him. Awful shame injuries never let him fulfill his true potential. He would have been the next Liam Brady and would have excelled in Italy only for the double cruciate injury
Stephen McPhail can barely tie his bootlaces without getting injured. Rejoicing this is the equivalent of admitting that you’ve nothing left to aspire to in the land of convicts.
