So as it’s St Patrick’s Day I thought I’d celebrate the Newcastle – Ireland connection. Some players I can think of from Ireland and Northern Ireland in the modern era are:
– Shay Given
– Aaron Hughes
– Keith Gillespie
– Damien Duff
– Ciaran Clark
– Jamal Lewis
– Leon Best
– Alex Murphy
Anyone missing? And who’s your top three? I’d go for:
-
Shay Given
-
Keith Gillespie
-
Leon Best
Out of that lot I think only Shay Given would get in the current side. Although I would like to see Alex Murphy get more chances as looks decent. Still baffles me that Ciaran Clark used to start over Schar during the dark ages too.

Leon Best above Aaron Hughes is quite a shout!
I want this kit so so hard as a filthy American.
Daryl Murphy player an underrated part in our last promotion campaign. Scored some key goals.
Leon Bessi is mint! Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit, lads!
He hasn’t aged a day in 20 odd years.
David Kelly I still remember how good he was in the promotion season of 1992-93
Let’s not forget Stephen Ireland!

I had that shirt as a kid. Loved it. It had this crocodile skin pattern on it
