Well bugger that anyway.

He won't last long as back-up, I'd say. Was our vice-captain last season; had a crap first half under Doolin but then picked up when Mahon arrived. Probably one of the fastest players in the league and picks up a few goals as well (like in Longford last January when we beat youz 2-0 - he scored the opener with a shot in off the post). He's a very good player and the first player I'd be worried to see go this winter (apart from Cawley, which we all expected).

I got this from the home match programme last season.

'Son of former Shamrock Rovers and Athlone town player Paul Martin and older brother of Robbie, John has been a regular on he right side of midfield since he broke into the 1st team in 98/99 season. Has had injury problems for the last two seasons and is now getting back to full fitness. '

Quite useless info but hey it might help!

how old is John Pineapple?

[Schumi]

He's around 24/25 I think.
