The Seasiders have welcomed a number of players to Bloomfield Road who have either played for the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland on the international stage.
Currently, the club currently has a few individuals who have represented their country to different extents.
There’s been a mixed bag of Irish players in Tangerine over the years, with some fondly remembered and others easily forgotten.
