Which Mayo man has played for Ireland?
I never heard of him but that may not mean anything

Mayo

Ollie Conmy

Conmy and his family were forced to emigrate from his birthplace of Mulraney when he was eight. Played for Huddersfield Town and Peterborough United over the course of his career. Was signed by Bill Shankly at the former.

He earned five caps for Ireland in the latter half of the 1960s.

110 cap Kevin Kilbane has strong family routes in Achill and is often seen at Mayo games these days, though he grew up in Preston.

U23 is Olympic team, LoI selection. I assume you mean U21?

Wpuld be the second Cavanman to play for the senior team if he made it.

Meath, Offally, Carlow, Tyrone and Leitrim are the only ones to not have produced an Ireland player.

Villa U23s not Ireland.

Inter Milan have a young Irish player Ryan Nolan. He was captain of the youth team, named in a few first team squads.

A few more Irish playing around Europe would be no harm. Instead of half the squad in the championship, although it's a good standard.

I guess winning All-Irelands takes precedence.

Shay Given's a good tyrone man sure.  Strabane n Lifford are one and the same!

One of his Kilbane parents is from Mayo and the other from Longford. He was born and raised in Preston..

Don't think Roscommon have had any?

U23 is the reserves for English League sides now. Jake Doyle Hayes starts most games for Villa at this level. Was on thr bench last week for first team v Nottingham Forest.

Darren Fletcher has Mayo connection too. I wouldn't call either Mayo men though
