Irish football fan? Read about the 7 men capped for the Republic of Ireland’s senior team when at St Patrick’s Athletic - lots of yarns and stories here from Archbishop McQuaid to Eamonn Dunphy and beyond. 🔴⚪️🇮🇪
In the early hours of Saturday morning, Kian Leavy made history by making his Ireland senior debut. How about this for a stat though…
Kian Leavy is only the second ever Pat’s player to have played for Ireland not to have been a team-mate of Dinny Lowry.

Briiliant!
Although their appearances spanned ~20 years, five others - Shay Gibbons, Tommy Dunne, Ronnie Whelan Snr, Jackie Hennessy & Noel Campbell - all played with Lowry.
Other than Kian, the only other Saint to have played for Ireland not to have been a team-mate of Dinny Lowry was…Dinny Lowry. 🔴⚪️🇮🇪
