Football - Feeney Slams Sanchez

By Brian Millar

Friday 4th February 2005

Warren Feeney was fuming last night after being snubbed yet again by Northern Ireland boss Lawrie Sanchez.

Northern Ireland face Canada in a friendly at Windsor Park next Wednesday and the Stockport County striker expected a call-up.

But Feeney, 24, who is expecting a big money move to Luton Town soon, isn't even on the stand-by list!

Sanchez has named four forwards, David Healy, Andy Smith, Andrew Kirk and Steve Jones.

Feeney, who won three caps under Sammy McIlroy, the last against Cyprus two years ago, said: "To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. I'm gutted.

"Lawrie Sanchez said he would pick anyone playing first team football and give fringe players a chance. Well, I've scored 10 goals in a bad team which is bottom of the league. I just don't know what I have done wrong. "I understand Andy Smith is in the squad and he hasn't kicked a ball since leaving Stockport three months ago.

Solid lineup, some young guys coming through esp. Davis, Whitley and Healy. Mulryne and Johnson give as good as they get. Hughes is class on the backline, Taylor is one of the best keepers in the EPL.

They'll give England a tough game! This new generation is going to get Northern Ireland back on the radar.

Whitley has been around since 1996. He used to play for Man City. He also had an older Brother Jim who was in the City Side that was relegated to the Old 2nd Division.
