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:
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
