byrne to sign


Recommended Posts

Joined Sunderland in 1997 after trials at Celtic, Blackburn Rovers and Hearts. Captained the U17, U18 and U19 teams at Sunderland as well as captaining the Republic of Ireland at U15, U16, U17 and U18s levels. While at U15 level, Byrne received the prestigious FAI Player of the Year award. Niall Quinn said in his autobiography: “If I was the manager of a Premiership side, I'd buy Cliff Byrne and build a team around him for the next ten years”. Should have been our greatest asset but never really given a chance to prove his potential. Signed for Scunthorpe in 2003 after a successful loan spell.

 

He's got a testimonial match at Scunthorpe on 29 July.
