I have amended the edit to Joseph Lapira with reference to him being the first Irish international to play for Rangers. Apart from several Rangers players who played for Ireland national football team (IFA), Alex Stevenson also played for both Rangers and Ireland national football team (FAI) during the 1930s.

Thanks, OK. I read it over a coffee in the Irish Sun! Incidentally, they also mentioned that Alan Maybury, a Dublin Protestant, had trials for Rangers in the nineties, but decided it wasn't worth the hassle. Millbanks 22:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Presumably Alex Stevenson and the two other Irish internationals were Protestants? (Joe Lapira is very much a Catholic) Millbanks 22:42, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Stevenson and the others were Protestants, as it says in his Wiki article, but his religion is not relevant as your initial edit implied Lapira was the first ever Irish international to play for Rangers and not just the first Catholic Irish international. Has the Irish Sun never heard of Wikipedia ?

On 25 April 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Alex Stevenson, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

I'm not sure if The Irish Sun has ever heard of Wikipedia, but Wikipedia has no entry for the Irish Sun! Millbanks 09:52, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

PS That might be because this "summer" Irish sun is virtually non-existent. Millbanks 09:54, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
