    Colin Healy (born March 14, 1980 in Cork) is an international footballer for the Republic of Ireland currently playing for Scottish Premier League club Livingston.

    Born in Ballincollig in County Cork, he played local football with Wilton United. He attended the FAS/FAI football course in Cork ran by former Celtic midfielder Mick Conroy and from here he was taken to Celtic Park.

    Sunderland, signed him from Celtic in 2003.

    This was not without considerable controversy. As Healy was 23 years old at the time, Sunderland were stunned when Celtic attempted to enforce Board rules which claimed that they needed to pay compensation for his move between clubs. According to FIFA rules, however, no compensation needed to be paid, as they needn't pay compensation on any players 23 or over. FIFA rules were the ones followed in this case.

    He is currently in the midst of an injury crisis. He broke his leg in a match at Coventry City in December 2003. He had previously been on loan at Coventry. His bad luck continued when he broke his leg again whilst working towards a comeback.

    In January 2006, it was announced that Healy's contract with Sunderland had expired, and the midfielder was to leave the club and return to Ireland to re-evaluate his future. He joined struggling SPL club Livingston on 10 March 2006 until the end of the season.

    i think he'd be a top signing-he's the kind of midfielder who would add a bit of steel to the midfield and 'free' Brian Howard. A bit like Hargreaves does when he plays for England-he allows Gerrard and Lampard to get forward and not worry about holding deep.

    Is the "steel" you refer to the pins and plates holding his legs together?
