All I can say is Brian Kerr must have had a good record in friendlies because they didnt beat anyone of note competitively during his era. Thought Charlton had a better record than that but there you go.

Had some excellent results in friendlies, beating The Netherlands and Portugal. The back to back draws v Israel killed the 2006 campaign. Only lost one game - home to France.

Charlton had a record of 1-5-2  = 12.5% in World Cup finals. Many forget the Putrid football played under Charlton - and with some of the Greatest players to grace an Irish Jersey.

Indeed. Always thought that. How much better it could have been had those players had a manager who allowed them to 'play'

He was the manager for 5 qualifying cycles for Euros and World Cups.

The team qualified for 3 of those 5.

All the other managers put together managed to qualify for 3 tournaments.

All the Managers put together did not have the array of talents Jack had at his disposal!

Off the top of my head:
Bonner (Celtic)
Hughton/Morris (Spurs/Celtic)
O'Leary/McGrath (Arsenal/Man United)
McCarthy/Moran (Celtic/Man United)
Staunton (Liverpool)
Houghton (Liverpool)
Townsend (Chelsea/Villa)
Whelan/Sheedy (Liverpool/Everton)
Quinn/Cascarino (Arsenal/Villa)
Aldridge (Liverpool)

There is some drop off in Irish representation in the top teams in Britain, even with Celtic.
Charlton had it good.

[rodney trotter]

Big drop off, but far more foreign players playing in UK nowadays. Chelsea have won 5 consecutive youth cup and keep sending their young players out on loan.

The Ireland u19s are hope for the future. They have players with the top clubs too , United Spurs, Liverpool  whether they can get their chance or not.

"The Republic of Ireland, beaten at home by Wales, are 33rd, one place better off than Northern Ireland. Scotland are 40th."

John Delaney got his dream of being the 33rd team, 8 years later
