We promised it during the 50 Fine Things nominations (see who you voted for in 2010 and 2009) and now here it comes. The Football Rules Fine Things!
The Irish have spread their em 'seed' far and wide. And boy do we need our distant relatives when it comes to our International Football team. Sadly they're not doing us any good as we're still terrible. However we're applying their rules for qualifying for the team to our sexy Irish Man List.
Every man with an Irish connection, however tenuous, will be considered for the Football Rules Fine Things list! Just like qualifying for the soccer team* every man on the Earth is potentially eligible. He doesn't have to be actually Irish - but he must have some blood link to the auld sod. Preferably a granny, but just like the FAI we will be as flexible as possible and explore every possible connection.
We will also include men who have lived here for long enough to be "more Irish than the Irish themselves". Or someone who "considers himself Irish" even though all he has done is spend a summer in Donegal once, or thinks that his great great grandparents might have emigrated from Sligo in 1845. Maybe.

How to play: Just leave a comment to say who is gorgeous enough to be on the Football Rules list. You can leave credentials too if you like!
Off you go and nominate! While we have a fair idea of who might win, feel free to go ahead and surprise us.
*obviously no team in the world is as hunky as the Irish soccer team. And NO ONE is to nominate Stephen Ireland or I will blow a gasket.
