John Frederick Byrne (born 1 February 1961) is a former professional footballer who played for the Republic of Ireland and various clubs in England and France in the 1980s and 1990s. ==Club career== Born in Manchester, Lancashire, Byrne began his career with York City and came to the attention of Queens Park Rangers during the League Cup match between the sides in 1984. He joined QPR in October 1984, making his debut against Norwich City. He was a highly skillful player and once famously dribbled half the length of the pitch to score against Chelsea in a 6–0 victory in 1986. Shortly afterwards Byrne played at Wembley in the Milk Cup Final against Oxford United but ended up on the losing side. Byrne moved from QPR to the French club Le Havre, in 1988, at the same time that his compatriot Frank Stapleton would move there from Ajax. He would remain at Le Havre one season longer than Stapleton before returning to England, in 1990, to play with Brighton & Hove Albion. He would have spells with Sunderland, Millwall, and Oxford but returning to Brighton, on loan in 1993 before finishing his career there in 1996. With Sunderland, he had the distinction of scoring in every round of the 1992 FA Cup except the final, which Liverpool won 2–0 with goals from Michael Thomas and Ian Rush, although he revealed in a pitch-side interview following the game that he was mistakenly handed a winner's medal. Byrne is currently a commentator on Radio Sussex for Brighton and Hove Albion home games. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Byrne (footballer, born 1961)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
