Where Have All the Irish Gone? tells the story of the dramatic decline of Ireland's footballers in England. It's the ultimate riches-to-rags affair, investigating how Irish players have become so irrelevant at the top English clubs - and asking whether they can ever again compete and conquer in the Premier League.
Where Have All the Irish Gone? The Sad Demise of Ireland's Once Relevant Footballers is the hard-hitting, investigative story of how and why it has gone so wrong for Irish footballers at the elite level of the English game since the inception of the Premier League. Before this era, players from the Emerald Isle would often cross the Irish Sea to provide the backbone of the great Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United sides, earning rave reviews across Europe for their skill and value to their respective clubs. They were the kings of the English game, and that was reflected in the success of the Irish national team. But it all came crashing down, eventually leading to Irish players having little more than bit-part roles at the business end of the English game. Where Have All the Irish Gone? carefully maps the grave decline and explains why the demise of Irish players has plunged to a new low - leaving their followers to wonder if they can ever return to the pinnacle in the most popular football league in the world.

Kevin O'Neill is an experienced football writer for one of Ireland's best-known regional newspapers, the Westmeath Independent. He is the author of two books on League of Ireland football, and has contributed match reports to national newspapers including the Irish Independent and The Star. Kevin regularly speaks about football matters on local radio stations and is a frequent contributor to The Football Pink.
