Centurions

Following Jack Byrne's first cap, Ireland have now awarded senior international caps to 500 players. But who are the other players to earn caps at the various multiples of 100?

100. Ned Weir.
Awarded caps by both the Irish Football Association, and the Football Association of Ireland, Ned Weir was spotted playing football in Scotland and recommended to both associations. He made his debut for the FAI in March 1939, four days after earning his only cap for the IFA, drawing 2-2 with Hungary in the first international held in Cork. He went on to earn two more caps for the association, and later managed Dundalk, winning the FAI Cup ten years after his international debut

200. Andy McEvoy.
22 years later, in May 1961, Andy McEvoy became the 200th player to earn an international cap for the Republic, losing to Scotland in a qualifier for the 1962 World Cup. McEvoy himself was born in Dublin in July 1938, less than a year before Weir's first appearance. After spending 11 years with Blackburn, McEvoy returned to Ireland to play for Limerick, winning the FAI Cup in 1971

300. Eamon Deacy
After winning the 1980-81 first division championship with Aston Villa, Deacy was called up by Ireland manager Eoin Hand in April 1982 to face Algeria, becoming the 300th player to earn an international cap in the process. Deacy has the unfortunate record of the most caps by a player who lost in each of those games - losing to Algeria on his debut, then to Chile, Brazil, and Trinidad & Tobago on a South American tour the following month

400. Paddy Kenny
Kenny made his debut in March 2004 (coincidentally also 22 years after Deacy's debut) in a friendly against the Czech Republic, coming on for Shay Given in the 81st minute. This was only 12 minutes after the Republic's 399th player made his first appearance when Liam Miller came on for Gary Doherty

500. Jack Byrne
501. James Collins
502. Kieran O'Hara
