Back in the days of my Dad and Uncles many Northern Ireland lads playing the top league in England. So many, that decent players only got a few Caps for the North.
Even when I grew up the Northern Ireland team had bona fide top notch players, Jennings, O'Neill, Armstrong, Donaghy, Rice and Whiteside to name but a few!!!
Looking at the present squad and not 1 player would get on the 70's and 80's team.
Best player is either Davis or J Evans who both wouldn't have got a sniff of a game back in those days.
I look at all the Europeans, North Africans, West Coast Africans, Asians even Americans all getting games the the English Premier League with really good players and sadly Northern Ireland has just about Zero influence. We will never see a decent team like we did the the 80's again.....or will we?
Global imports to EPL has killed N I team?
