Happy St Patricks Day Four fantastic Boys in Green who wore
West Ham United have been represented by dozens of Irishmen down the years, including 16 full internationals. To celebrate St Patrick's Day, we meet four of the best Boys in Green to wear Claret and Blue...

Brady’s attributes had made him a target for Europe’s biggest clubs and, in 1979, he announced his intention to move to Juventus the following summer. He kicked off his career in Italy with back-to-back Serie A titles before moving on to Sampdoria, Inter Milan and Ascoli.

In March 1987, aged 31, he decided to return to London, as he wanted to bring his children up in England. After a £100,000 deal was agreed, Brady joined West Ham United.

The Hammers were going through a transitional phase during the playmaker’s time in Claret and Blue, but they were unquestionably a better side when Brady was in it, most notably when thrashing Liverpool 4-1 in the League Cup in November 1988.

Relegation meant Brady would spend the final season of his career in the Second Division, where he signed off with a memorable strike in a 4-0 Upton Park victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in his 532nd and last league game as a professional in May 1990.

Darren Randolph - Ireland's number one

Born in Bray in County Wicklow to an American father and Irish mother, Darren Randolph left Ireland at the age of 16 to pursue his dream of becoming a professional footballer in London.

The promising goalkeeper left local club Ardmore Rovers to join Charlton Athletic, debuting at Liverpool in May 2007. After a series of loan spells, Randolph continued his career north of the border in Scotland, helping Motherwell reach the Scottish Cup final and finish second in the Scottish Premier League.

From there, he moved back to England with Birmingham City, impressing during two seasons in the Championship before joining West Ham United in 2015.
