Stephen James Ireland is an Irish footballer who currently plays as an attacking midfielder for Premier League club Aston Villa.<\/P>

Ireland started his career in Cobh, playing junior football for Cobh Ramblers, a team his father Michael had previously played for. As a schoolboy Ireland had trials with a number of British clubs, though several were discouraged by his Osgood-Schlatter disease, which he suffered from in his mid-teens.<\/P>","e_index":9};
