- Rory Delap (born Sutton Coldfield, 6 July 1976) is an Irish international, who isn’t great at kicking a ball but can throw it further than you go on holiday. Like resourceful Muppet-esque manager Mick McCarthy, Delap was born in England but hedged his bets and chose to play for good-natured fallback nation the Republic of Ireland. Delap has joined the likes of Mario Melchiot, Lee Dixon, Dave Challinor, Andy Legg and Perry Groves in being labelled a ‘throw-in specialist.’

Delap has joined the likes of Mario Melchiot, Lee Dixon, Dave Challinor, Andy Legg and Perry Groves in being labelled a ‘throw-in specialist.’ Delap played for Southampton for ages after the Saints signed him for £2m, breaking their club record fee paid to Sheffield Wednesday striker David Hurst. However, he was always one of those players you would sign on Championship Manager but not really recognise if he was sat on your patio drinking wine and flirting openly with your mother-in-law.
