He has the same haircut as Stephen Hunt. Let's hope he doesn't play like Stephen Hunt.

First player I thought of too. I'd say the chances of him representing Ireland would be slim. It would be funny to see "John Joe Patrick Finn" on a Spanish or Cameroonian teamsheet

Thread has already been done to death on this.

Best of luck to him. When he's world class he can come back and captain Ireland to the World Cup.

I assume the John Joe Patrick is just the Sun being blackguards yet again.

I'd imagine the kid is called Juan Jose Finn or such like.

He'll be getting a luxury caravan as part of the signing-on deal so?

Well these facts certainly make 94% of posts in the previous thread irrelevant.

I'm surprised they didn't just photoshop a pix of the kid standing beside a Leprechaun.
