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>","D91FA56861637784":"Stoke City","80071F80C4550E7F":"173cm","AA81248D0821D00F0BA9BCB533E2881F":"Aston Villa","1CD1A53514962B6A":"1","37FE64B882E92ECB":"Stephen Ireland","e_index":3};
