Scoring Streaks Part I: Consecutive Games

Along with asking if Stephen Ireland had the best goals per game ratio, we've been asked recently who has the longest scoring streak for the Republic.

This is actually two questions:

• Who scored in the most consecutive Republic of Ireland games
• Who scored in the most consecutive appearances

To illustrate the difference, consider that Stephen Ireland scored in three consecutive international appearances:

• The infamous 5-2 loss to Cyprus in October 2006
• The 2-1 win over San Marino in February 2007
• The 1-0 over Wales in Croke Park the following month

But these were not consecutive games, there were two more games between the Cyprus and San Marino games:

• 7th October 2006 Cyprus 5-2 Republic of Ireland
• 11th October 2006 Republic of Ireland 1-1 Czech Republic
• 15th November 2006 Republic of Ireland 5-0 San Marino
• 7th February 2007 San Marino 1-2 Republic of Ireland

So, let's look at who's scored in the most consecutive games first, with consecutive appearances to come in a later article.

Paddy Moore was the first player to score in three consecutive games for the Republic of Ireland, scoring four times against Belgium in 1934 between two games against the Netherlands in 1932 and 1934. Moore had also scored on his previous international appearance against Spain in 1931, but didn't appear in the subsequent return game against the same opposition.

Jimmy Dunne scored in three consecutive games in 1936, against Switzerland, Hungary and Luxembourg in 1936. The following year the player managed it again, scoring against Norway in consecutive games in 1937, followed by a strike against Czechoslovakia in May 1938.

A decade later, in 1949, Con Martin scored three of his six international goals in successive games against Spain, Finland and England (in their first home defeat to a non British side).

In 1955, hall of fame member Arthur Fitzsimons scored in the first of three consecutive games against Yugoslavia and Spain before going on to score against Netherlands in the following May.

A year later, Dermot Curtis scored against Denmark, before following it up with strikes against Poland and Austria in 1958.

In 1960, Fionan Fagan became the first player to score in four straight games for Ireland when he scored against Germany, Sweden, Wales and Norway.

Two years later Liam Tuohy became the seventh player to score in three successive games, with goals against Austria, and then two games against Iceland.

It would take more than two decades before another Irish player managed three goals in three games when Frank Stapleton scored against Iceland, Spain in 1982 and Malta the following March.

In 2002 Robbie Keane became the second of two players to score in four successive games, with goals against Germany, Saudi Arabia, Spain in the World Cup and a friendly against Finland in the same year. Keane also scored in three consecutive games in a week and a half when he scored against Northern Ireland and Scotland in the Nations Cup and in a qualifier against Macedonia a week later.

Finally, Robbie Brady is the most recent player to manage the feat, scoring against Italy and France in Euro 2016 and against Oman in Robbie Keane's final game.

Goals Per Game

After posting Stephen Ireland's international record on his 31st birthday in August, one of our facebook followers asked if he had the best goals per game ratio, and if not then which Irish player has that record?

Happy birthday Stephen Ireland(6 caps, 4 goals), 31 today! 🎂 #COYBIG pic.twitter.com/IYFVUYDSoj

— Irish Abroad (@irish_abroad) August 22, 2017

Former Bohemians striker Jimmy White scored twice in his single appearance for the Republic of Ireland, which is the best ratio of any player ever to pull on the green jersey. There are four players who scored on their only appearance for the Boys in Green - Jack Sullivan, Johnny Squires, Paddy Bermingham, and Jimmy McCann - giving them a perfect record of one goal per game. Tom Davis and Matty Geoghegan both finished their international careers with a ratio of one goal per game after matching their appearance total of four and two caps, respectively,  with the number of goals scored in each.

Looking at players with five (or more) caps, Ringsend striker Jimmy Dunne scored 13 goals in his 15 appearances, finishing his international career on 0.87 goals per game.

Player	Goals	Caps	Goals/Games Ratio
Jimmy Dunne	13	15	0.87
John Joe Flood	4	5	0.80
Paddy Bradshaw	4	5	0.80
Paddy Moore	7	9	0.78
Stephen Ireland	4	6	0.67

The only goal of David O'Leary's career, a strike against Turkey in 1990 (his penalty against Romania is not counted), means he has the worst goals/game ratio of all players who have scored at least one goal for Ireland, scoring only 0.014 goals in each of his 68 caps.

Shay Given's 134 caps is (unsurprisingly) the highest caps total without a single goal and Kenny Cunningham's 72 caps is the highest total of the outfield players to retire without scoring

Most goals against single opposition

Former Republic of Ireland striker John Aldridge celebrated his 59th birthday recently, and (as we do with many former internationals) we posted the history of his Irish international caps and goals on twitter and facebook

Happy birthday @Realaldo474(69 caps, 19 goals), 59 today! 🎂 #COYBIG pic.twitter.com/8f6iNJPCN4

— Irish Abroad (@irish_abroad) September 18, 2017

One of our facebook followers noticed that he had scored eight goals against Latvia, and wondered was this a record for Irish players - i.e. had any player scored more goals against single opposition over the course of his career?

Usually when there's a question related to Irish goalscoring records, the answer is Robbie Keane, but not so in this case. The Irish record caps holder and goal scorer found the back of the net five times against three different countries - Georgia, Faroe Islands and Gibraltar - and is joined by Don Givens who also notched five goals against Turkey in three games, including four in one game.

This leaves Aldridge's eight goals in four games against Latvia in as the current holder of this record.

Player	Opposition	Home Goals	Away Goals	Total
John Aldridge	Latvia	5	3	8
Don Givens	Turkey	4	1	5
Robbie Keane	Georgia	5	0	5
Robbie Keane	Faroe Islands	5	0	5
Robbie Keane	Gibraltar	3	2	5
