“If you ever visit the Irish National Team’s website, you’ll notice one peculiar element to the FAI’s online shop. One entire section of the store is dedicated to Everton FC shirts and gear.

This is because of the Irish players at Everton now and in the past, and Ireland’s connection to the city of Liverpool.

This is because of the fact that he wasn’t born in Ireland, but their next door neighbors Scotland.” Outside of the Boot
