Liam O'Brien is apparently a voice actor. There is another O'Brien to have scored who you may have meant instead Shindig.

Liam O'Brien made six appearances for us in the Premier League but scored none before Keegan shipped him off to Tranmere. Did David Kelly get any with the mackems?
2 in the old Division One, but none in the Prem.
Gareth Farrelly
Keith Fahey
Daryl Murphy
Alan Judge
David Meyler
Enda Stephens
Callum Robinson
Jack OConnell
John Egan
David McGoldrick
Kevin Foley
Andy Keogh
Stephen Ireland
Ray Houghton
Matt Holland
Some good answers in there. Still 4 Irishmen who made it into double figures to guess.
Steven Reid.
Richard Dunne
I don't think Roy O'Donovan got this high up.
That goal against Wigan has to be up there with the hardest hit shots of all time, maybe alongside one of Tony Yeboah's efforts.
Dunne managed double figures, with 10 goals in the right end.
O'Donovan made 17 PL appearances for Sunderland, but no goals.
Is Gareth Whalley on the list?
Tony Cascarino?
Whalley is, 1 goal for Bradford in early 2000. No caps for Ireland but played for the B team.
Time to bring back the trivia.
Mario Gomez played his last game (and scored) for Stuttgart this weekend. But can you name the full teams and used substitutes when Gomez made his Stuttgart debut, against Chelsea in March 2004?

Deco
Drogba
Kuranyi
Khedira?
Deco and Paulo Ferreira were winning the Champions League that season with Porto and Jose. Khedira was a couple years away from making his debut.
Remember the tie, was the round of 16 the year we eventually got done by Monaco. Chelsea would have been something like:
Cudicini (unless he was knackered by this point and Ambrosio had come in, but think that was a couple of weeks later)
Johnson
Desailly (possibly? his last season)
Terry
Babayaro (not sure about this one)
Geremi
Makelele
Verσn
Gronkjaer
Hasselbaink
Crespo
I think Mutu had blown out by this point.
As for Stuttgart, no idea. Hitzlsperger was the first name that came to mind.
Geremi, Mutu and Desailly were the 3 subs used for Chelsea. Stuttgart is tougher, but there are a few well-known names in their lineup.
Trying to think who our left back was in this era. Feels too late for Le Saux, but obviously well pre-Cole. Was it Bill Gallas out of position? That would be a Ranieri thing to do.
Mario Stanic sneaking in somewhere? Oh and Lampard obviously, how could I forget him.
Gallas played centre-back. 3 of the Chelsea starters left to get.
Eidur
This left back is going to do my head in. I don't think Melchiot ever played there, or if he did it wouldn't have been in this game. Zenden never went back there for us and I think may have been out by this point anyway.
Was this the year we bungled in Jiri Jarosik in January? I think it was. Him or Scott Parker
LB is Wayne Bridge surely?
Parker is correct, part of a midfield trio with Lampard and Makelele.
Correct! 1 more Chelsea player to get, and the rest of Stuttgart.
Of course, should have remembered him from having donned the so-called invincibles in the next round. The most thrilling goal of my whole Chelsea-watching life, probably even better than Drogba's header vs Bayern due to the age I was.
Timo Hildebrand in goal for Stutgart I'd have thought
Otherwise I'm struggling a bit
I can't work out what formation this would have been if there was a midfield three. He usually played two up that season, so I guess we're missing a floating luxury player which must have been Joe Cole.
Fredi Bobic still knocking around for Stutgart this year, presumably with a grudge to bear from the CWC final in 98(99?) in this game?
Hildebrand is correct, and I'd say there are at least 4 others that should be guessed. The rest are a little lesser-known.
Joe Cole made an appearance in the first leg from the bench, but was an unused sub in the second.
They had a Croat midfielder who played in 98 and 04 but can't remember his name.
Young Lahm maybe?
They did indeed have a Croatian veteran in midfield. Lahm is correct, the first of his 2 seasons on loan there.

Hleb & Cacau.
Damien Duff for the other Chelsea winger?
Serdar Tasci?
Kuffour
Yakin
?
Asamoah
Hleb and Cacau both correct and both started.
Duff is correct, and that's the Chelsea team complete.
None of the above. Good shout with Tasci but a little before his time. Some clues for the remaining Stuttgart players:
CB - Brazilian who also played for Schalke as well as Stuttgart.
CB - Portuguese player who spent 6 years at Stuttgart, and scored the only goal of the tie - an own goal in the 1st leg that sent Chelsea through.
RB - 21 caps for Germany, played for Sevilla and Celtic also.
CM - Croatian veteran who played over 300 times for Stuttgart. Over 60 caps for Croatia too.
CM - Probably the most obscure of the lot - German who scored 27 goals in 8 years at Stuttgart as a midfielder.
LM - Better known as a full-back, this Croatian spent 6 years at Leverkusen between 1997 and 2003 and played briefly in England for Portsmouth.
Sub (ST) - Hungarian striker who played for a number of German clubs, as well as 2 spells with Sturm Graz in Austria.
Sub (CM) - Well-travelled German midfielder who played for Seattle Sounders later in his career. Over 540 appearances in club football before retiring last year.
Fernando Meira (now suddenly remember him scoring an OG in this tie)
Andreas Hinkel the right back
Both are correct. I don't expect all of the remaining players to be guessed.
Naldo
The Croatian is bothering me - I was thinking of him when I went with Bobic.
