Eamon Dunphy pulled out of tackles for Ireland, says former team-mate

Former Ireland international Paddy Mulligan lost respect for Eamon Dunphy when he saw him shirk challenges in a green shirt.

In an interview with Liam Mackey which appears in Saturday’s Examiner Sport, Mulligan confirmed that he doesn’t get on with his fellow Dub.

“No, I don’t get on with Dunphy. I wouldn’t like him. And I never did. He was a wonderful schoolboy footballer but he pulled out of an awful lot of tackles playing for Ireland. And I don’t like that.
