My favourite Pat Sharkey story concerns his one and only appearance for Northern Ireland in the Home Internationals at Hampden Park.
After the game, Pat got the train straight back to Ipswich and at 2am was spotted on the dance floor of the First Floor Club making shapes, still wearing his Northern Ireland shirt from the game earlier in the afternoon.
I knew a lad who played for Omagh Town in the Irish League when Pat Sharkey was manager. Would have been around 1990/91. He had some tremendous tales to tell.

Wrong O'Callaghan
Kevin is your man.
He played 21 times for the Republic and almost played in goal in an unofficial international game but suffered a nasty broken arm that prevented him from doing so, his place being taken by a rookie american.

Sorry, good point. Forgot about Kevin. The broken arm incident was indeed unfortunate but for it he could have gone on to greater heights!
