I'm a little surprised to see jim Magilton's name up there for having 52 caps. While I always rated Jim as a very classy central midfield player I didn't think he'd played quite as many times as that for us.
We could still have been doing with him over the past few years even in his veteran years.
It is funny how some players manage to creep to such high cao totals, and others who you think have been around forever, finish lower down.
For instance, Jimmy vs James Quinn. Jimmy was playing on strong at 35, yet only made 46 appearances because he didn't make his debut until he was in his mid-20s. James has now surpassed 46 (47th against Finland) at 31 years-old. I guess its because I remember James braking through in the mid-90s that he still seems like a youngster, whereas, to me, Jimmy was always just there.
