International Career
Hunt earned his first cap for the Republic of Ireland in their 2–1 win away to San Marino on 7 February 2007, coming on as a substitute. He earned his second cap in their 1–0 home win against Wales on 24 March 2007, again coming on as a substitute.
Hunt then made a substitute appearance in Ireland's 1–0 defeat to the Czech Republic on 12 September 2007. However, he was sent off by Greek referee Kyros Vassaras following a challenge on Jan Polák, with later reports suggesting this was a harsh decision as Hunt had appeared to win the ball.
Hunt scored a late penalty in the 2–3 friendly defeat to Poland at Croke Park on 19 November 2008.

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)
