    Mick Mchugh was Irish wasn’t he? I once spoke to him at Shipley swimming baths of all places and pretty sure he was from the Emerald Isle.

    Stapleton also. Never though he did much in a City shirt as a player manager.

    Here is another ‘red rag’, question;). How about a thread of former Bradford City players who have, at some stage of their careers (not necessarily when they played for City:cool:), gained a full cap for one of the Home International teams? Can we do it?:)

    Well Lee Sharpe, Chris Waddle and Gordon Cowans all played for England - are the Republic of Ireland one of the home international teams?

    I always liked Robbie James.
    I would swap Hendrie for Robbie James.

    See my posts #39 and #40 on the previous page:p

    Bruno and Lawrence were born in England, so in the context of this thread -- foreign-born foreign players -- I left them out. And I was in two minds about Irish players, but in the end decided to omit them as well.

    Podd I wasn't sure about -- I expected he'd played internationally for St. Kitts, but so far I've not found a mention of the number of caps: Hugman doesn't give details, as he does for most other internationals, Rothman's hasn't helped, at least in the volumes I have, and the ever-reliable Wikipedia just says he played internationally for St. Kitts!

    But yes, as one of our undisputed legends, let's put him in, move Halle to the subs, and Petrescu to the squad. Ces managed the St. Kitts national side for a few years, so that gets him in anyways -- he can be joint interim permanent manager with Pehrsson!

    Now there's a project...

    I'll propose Louis Bookman for the list. Since my "capped foreigners" post, I've found that he, despite being born in Lithuania, won 4 caps for Ireland, one (in 1914) when he was playing for us, and then three more in 1921.

    I've edited that post accordingly.

    There's been a few cases like that: e.g. the Hungarian Kulcsar appearing for the Aussies, the Aussie Nix for the lower levels of England, along with English-born players appearing internationally for other nations.
