James McClean | Our boy from Derry

As James McClean prepares to claim his 100th cap for the Republic of Ireland, we paid a visit to Creggan, Derry to talk to those who know James best & played a part in his journey to becoming Ireland's latest Centurion.

I love James so much. We will never see another player with the real heart and principals ever again. A true Irish legend and hero.

One of my favourite players, he just puts his heart and soul into it and is a proud Irishman.. love from Dublin James, enjoy tonight ❤

Proud to have him at Wrecsam 👌💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇪

a man who made his fortune amongst the Brits, a nation he hates. Strange or what. Still if you are on 30 grand a week i suppose he holds his nose and counts his money.

[@MJGLove]

English football is a global game, with global owners, players and global fanbases. Your right wing drivel is a load of nonsense

[@williammohan9784]

@@MJGLove I am an Northern Irish Catholic. So i know McClean and his ilk on both sides for what they are. So best you stick to looking longingly at those naked photos of Corbyn you have up on your toilet wall to help you though the night sweetie

[@AnnesleyPlaceDub70]

Source and proof that he has said that he hates the Brits.

[@martinsoneby3596]

He should grab as much money as humanly possible from the Brits.

[@williammohan9784]

@@MJGLove its taken a year to see your reply but here is the thing. I am a Catholic from the North of Ireland, with two relatives who were in the IRA, one who spent over ten years in the Kesh. So you were saying about my right wing drivel boy.

Good man James, well done on your 100th cap, well deserved

[@nutcracker2916]

I respect him for sticking to his beliefs. shame when he clashed with Levi . chelsea's player . The Blues Brothers some of the Chelsea supporting bigots , like Steven Barrett who commented on my friend' Shari Stamford's Facebook page and called him IRA scum . There's a few like that , that follows my team Chelsea. Christopher /Chris Hodges one of the biggest culprits. Stalking Celtic F.C, websites. Chelsea . ger . Toned it down now as I think he was called out. Best Wishes James .

James McClean is the best player that ever played for Ireland. He’s got a beautiful partner 😍 and kids too.
