Coventry Citys in form striker Leon Best will be included in Don Givens U-21 Irish squad. The last time he donned a green jersy was almost 3 years ago in an U-18 squad and most people have been mystified why the former Southampton player has been ignored.

The U-21's take on Montenegro next Tuesday in a European qualifier and with Best in a rich vein of scoring form this season the game looks perfect for his return. Although born in England Best grew up in Dublin and has said many times he still wants to play for us.
