Forgotten Dubliners who took their place among the Premier League elite

There are 192 Irish players in the Premier League. The team against England at Euro ‘88 contained three Liverpool regulars and two Manchester United players. A new book charts Irish involvement over three decades. It charts the stories of thirty Irish footballers who played in Premier league. They include Richard Dunne, who had 431 Premier games, and Niall Quinn, with 250. There are more players from Ireland than from Spain, Portugal or Italy. In the global market, it's unsurprising that so few Irish player currently play in a top league like the English Premier.
