International Career
Colgan made his Republic of Ireland début in March 2002 whilst a Hibernian player against Denmark. He went on to make a total of 9 caps for his country, but was selected many more times for the national squad but usually as a backup keeper to the likes of Shay Given and Paddy Kenny. Despite being selected in the squad until 2006, his last cap for his nation came in a 3–0 defeat against Nigeria on 29 May 2004. In recent years, he has been left out of the Ireland squad in favour of younger goalkeepers such as Keiren Westwood, Joe Murphy and Wayne Henderson.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
