STEPHEN McPHAIL-Current Domestic Club,Leeds United Football Club (Currently on loan at Nottingham Forest)
Started out very well at International as a direct reflection of his domestic performances with Leeds. However the lack of first team football saw him become more benched on Saturdays at Elland Road, and Mick noticed this too.
His left foot is unique, and he is still young in football years. His size is not in his favour, 2" short of six foot and just over 11.5 stone.
He won his first Ireland cap against Scotland in 2000, going on to score his first international goal against South Africa that summer.
