Appearance statistics for May 2013: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/MonthlyStats?month=14
20 wins for promoted defender Damien Delaney meant the Crystal Palace defender started the most wins in the 2012/13 season
North of Hadrian's Wall, Aaron Doran started the most draws, with 18 games finishing all square for the Inverness winger
Relegated pair James McCarthy and Kevin Doyle started the most losses, both players finishing on the losing side 20 times this season
Derby County club captain Richard Keogh started a massive 49 games this season, and even more remarkably completed 90 minutes in each one!
Nottingham Forest's Andy Reid was substituted more than any other Irish player in 2012/13, the midfielder was withdrawn from the action in 23 of his 43 starts
Conversely, striker Alan Lee was introduced from the bench more than his compatriots, coming on 21 times in total, as early as the 54th minute and as late as the 90th minute more than once!
Unsurprisingly, goalkeepers dominate the list of players who were unused substitutes, with Conrad Logan topping the table after remaining on the bench 53 times for Leicester this season. Shane Duffy holds the dubious honour of being the outfield player who remained unused the most, the Everton defender was kept from the action 28 times by his manager
Robbie Keane's 20 goals across 2012/13 for LA Galaxy ensure he tops the scoring charts, while defender Richard Keogh outscored quite a few players after finding the back of the net five times for Derby. The MLS champions went on to win 11 of the 15 games in which the Ireland captain won, only losing twice. Strangely, every one of Keith Andrews' four goals came from the penalty spot, including two in one game! Honourable mention for Yeovil Town's Paddy Madden, who scored 22 goals, and broke the club record for scoring in consecutive games after scoring 11 goals in eights games between the first of January and the 23rd of February
Defender Jim Goodwin managed to amass a booking in almost half the games he started, collecting 14 yellow cars in his 35 starts.
