Laurie Cunningham (Utd/Marseille/Madrid)

Someone's been on the old Wikipedia today 

[AZOffaly]

Yeah, but in fairness you think of a name, and then check it out on Wiki. Like I did with Alan McInally.

Sampdoria were beaten in 1991-92. Remember Lombardo? The reason I checked was because I thought Liam Brady might be the Irish lad (Inter, Juve, Samp)

Okay, here's one. Some easy, a couple of middling ones and a hard one.

Seven players have been capped for the Republic of Ireland senior international team since 1985 whose surname starts with S. Name them.

[stephenite]

John Sheridan
Steve Staunton
Frank Stapelton
Kevin Sheedy

That's four, there's only easyish one left, a tricky one and a nightmare one. They're getable though

[stephenite]

My knowledge of soccer would be fairly limited these days - but I thought I'd manage more than 4 Irish players since 1985.

[RedandGreenSniper]

Ah well there are only seven of them. It took me a while to get the six and an age to get the last one
You'd probably be well able to name seven Stephenites whose name start with S much quicker

[stevo-08]

did your man anthony stokes get a couple of caps last year. Thats probably the last easy one.
