David Forde got the nod from Trap today due to the goalkeeping crisis with both Kieron Westwood and Shay Given out injured.

Forde has played at Barry Town, West Ham, Cardiff and now Millwall. Like Stephen Ireland he has his issues with grandmothers in the past.

Contrary to popular belief, Forde is not a former Welsh under-21 international. Forde stated, "I'm not sure where that came from, but it's wrong," and continued: "That story started a long time ago when I played for Barry Town and seems to have stuck. I even read that I have a Welsh grandmother, but that's not right. Don't get me wrong because I love it here in Wales, but I am only qualified to play for the Republic of Ireland."
