The midfielder made almost 180 Premier League appearances for the Potters and became well-known for his trademark long throws into the opposition box.

Delap also played for Sunderland, Derby, Carlisle United and Barnsley during his 19-year career.

The English-born midfielder was capped 11 times by Ireland with his last appearance coming against Czech Republic in a 2004 friendly.
