Dave Langan was capped for Ireland 26 times.He is now registered disabled suffering from crippling back and knee pain as a result of his playing career.
Dave Langan is only 51. He is an ex-footballer who can barely walk and barely earn a living.
As a result of his situation, Republic of Ireland Football Fans have united to start a campaign calling for a testimonial for Dave.
We need you to help us show the FAI that Dave Langan is still considered an Irish hero, and that he deserves a testimonial for the commitment he has shown to Ireland.
Please sign the petition, you do not need to register and please forward the link to as many people as possible.

Trapattoni joins the Boys In Green :)
|
Former Italian coach Giovanni Trapattoni has been confirmed as the new Ireland soccer boss after a protracted recruitment process handled by Don Givens, Ray Houghton and Don Howe.
The formal announcement was made at the FAI's headquarters in Dublin after a board meeting to ratify the recruitment panel's recommendation.
FAI President David Blood told the waiting media: "The wait is over, the FAI has appointed Giovanni Trapattoni after successfully concluding negotiations with his lawyers in Milan.
"He will take over the post on May 1 when finished his commitments with Red Bull Salzburg. His first match in charge will be an International friendly on May 24 against Serbia. The appointment was by unanimous agreement."
The statistics of a 34-year career in management show he has won almost every competition he has entered: one European Cup -- the infamous Hessle final with Juventus in 1985 -- three UEFA Cups, one Cup-Winners' Cup, as well as ten domestic titles in western Europe, from Italy and Germany to Portugal.

FIFA tells the IFA to sling their hook
|
The Football Association of Ireland welcomes the decision of FIFA’s Executive Committee to leave the current regulations regarding the eligibility of players to represent association teams unchanged.
An FAI spokesman said: “In October 2006, FIFA’s Legal Department ruled that players born in Northern Ireland are entitled to play for the Republic of Ireland if they choose.
“Following today’s Executive Committee meeting, senior FIFA sources have confirmed to us that the status quo remains and the FAI may continue to select players born in Northern Ireland who declare that they wish to play for Ireland.”
