Sean Flannery (http://www.sligochampion.ie/sport/soccer/first-he-scored-goals-now-hes-setting-them-2987031.html)

[Jofspring]

Ross Corsgrove has emigrated last I heard. Played with Fairview Rangers before he left.

John Lester was playing with Sherriff YC last season, not sure about this season.

Bobby Ryan is unattached, played a few friendlies with Pike Rovers but didn't sign.

[Battery Rover]

Alex O'Reilly went back to the UK after playing with us and was running a hotel from what I can remember from talking to him. He was also going playing non league football.

[Battery Rover]

Robbie Farrell is playing with Swords Celtic and scored two at the weekend in a 4-3 win over Ballyouster Celtic.

Brendan Sweeney moved to England.

Jamie Nolan is throwing a tantrum somewhere as you read this.

John Healy played for Clare's Oscar Traynor side a couple of years back, presume he's still playing junior ball there.

Thomas Morgan is currently playing for Letterkenny Rovers in my FM game but I am unable to provide any real world details.

Jamie Nolan
Formerly Cork City? He's a second cousin of mine and even I haven't a clue what he's up to these days...that says it all really :p

[Spencer707]

are these players not on wikipidia?

[sadloserkid]

I would imagine that Wikipedia lost interest in them a long time ago in most cases... just checked Morgan as an example, nothing after his senior football career ended.

[codology]

Thomas Morgan was managing Hardwick Utd a local junior team in Dublin City up to recently.

Who??? I have never heard of that club in my life. Where in Dublin is it?

[pineapple stu]

I assume this (http://www.facebook.com/hardwicke.streetfc) is their facebook?

[A face]

The map is pointing to Dame Street? Obviously its just a city based team so.

[Dodge]

Bobby Ryan was playing for Landen United recently

Lester is still with Sheriff

[nigel-harps1954]

Davy Byrne was playing with Ballinamallard up North. Not sure about now, probably still is.

[CuanaD]

Off Dorset Street, between Temple Street hospital & North Fredrick Street.


He has family links to there.

They play in the AUL PremB (http://www.aul.ie/TableLeagues.php)

[the 12 th man]

The last I heard Richie Baker was playing with Granada FC in the UCFL in Dublin,his brother Dessie is player/manager with Edenderry Town FC in the LSL.

[Martinho II]

Davy Byrne was playing with Ballinamallard up North. Not sure about now, probably still is.

I assume thats the Davy Byrne that played with athlone town,us shels?

[nigel-harps1954]

It is indeed.

[BonnieShels]

Bobby Ryan was playing for Landen United recently

Landen United as in Landen Road in Ballyer? Christ. Didn't even know there was a team there. How long are they on the go?
I grew up on Cremona FFS!

[Onefootednopace]

George O' Callaghan's latest port of call - Dover Ath (http://dover-athletic.co.uk/index.php?p=showprofile&id=277&c=ft)

[hotspur]

The last I heard Richie Baker was playing with Granada FC in the UCFL in Dublin,his brother Dessie is player/manager with Edenderry Town FC in the LSL.

There was a Richie Baker scored the other day for one of the lower league Scottish Team's in the Scottish cup,saw it on soccer saturday,also said he was Irish,can't remember name of club though,could be a different fellow altogether though.

[nigel-harps1954]

Surely Richie Baker isn't that old himself? Or did he go completely downhill in a matter of years?

[Dodge]

He was about 4/5 stone over weight when lining out for Bray a couple of seasons ago

[Martinho II]

[Olander]

Not a fan of either of the Baker brothers (two different fathers etc etc), but the above post is a bit of an over exaggeration ^!

[nigel-harps1954]

Crazy. He seemed to be the next big thing out of the LOI when he went over to play MLS.

[L.T.F.C.]

One of my favourite Town players: John Martin. Robbie's brother I think? Anyone with an idea?

[Longfordian]

Managing someone in the LSL, Leixlip possibly. I think I read that on here actually. His brother Robbie is playing for them.

[the 12 th man]

Longfordian has it there about John,Leixlip won their League in the Leinster Senior League last year and are top of the league they were promoted into this season,Robbie was banging them in last year and was one of the most feared strikers around-lethal in the box.

[Longfordian]

He was always a good lad and a good player, Johnny Martin. Robbie was less successful considering we spent money on him but still got us to the cup final in 2007 which made us a few quid.

I spoke to Robbie briefly last season and he's a sound lad,no superstar crap out of him at all.

[Longfordian]

Oh yeah he was never any problem off the field and worked hard just didn't get enough goals for us really.

[L.T.F.C.]

Glad to hear they're doing well.

'Two different fathers etc etc'... One of the most intriguing lines I've ever seen on Foot.ie. Most peculiar....

[oriel]

I met and chatted to Martin Lawlor yesterday in the IFSC, what a player, winner of 4 of our 9 league titles, top top player. Refreshing to hear of him say 'I hope WE win on sunday' (v St Pats.................miracles can happen)

PS Where are they now 'No idea but he was heading towards the convention centre'.............

[Longfordian]

Last I heard of him he was doing corporate talks on motivation and team work etc. He always talked a good game.

[fifty50]

John Healy is Playin with avenue utd in Ennis, not sure if he is Playin this season, think he has a back injury:

Perhaps Dodge meant 0.8 of a stone? Very precise if so.

[Dodge]

No, I stand by 4 or 5 stone. I'd like to see a side on pic

[A face]

Agreed, a side profile shot, with different lighting and horizontal stripes jersey :)

[Longfordian]

I'd imagine a lot of them have retired. Davy Byrne is playing up the north some place, Gary Murphy isn't playing any serious football, John Martin manages Leixlip, Stephen Gavin is retired from senior football as far as I know. God only knows where the rest of them play if they play at all.

[nigel-harps1954]

Davy Byrne - Was playing with Ballinamallard or someone up in the North last season I think after leaving Harps, haven't heard anything since.
Packie Mailey - Not playing for anyone. Just playing a bit of GAA. Wouldn't mind seeing him sign back at Harps though.
Liam Mailey - Same as Packie I believe. Went off to America last year or the year before and hasn't been heard of since.
Ciaran Martyn - Glentoran
John McGuinness - Wasn't he re-signed by Athlone last season?
Emeka Onwubukio - I often have wondered what became of this 'wonderkid' too.

[Martinho II]

I am pretty sure Stevie Gavin is playin in the Mayo league for castlebar celtic.. I could be wrong though!

[SkStu]

JP Kelly is with Fairview i think

[pineapple stu]

Alan Mahon - retired at the end of 2008; works in the Department of Finance I think (did last I heard anyway)
Ciaran Martyn - Glentoran, pending them releasing their entire squad for financial reasons again
Pat McWalter - off playing GAA for Wicklow
Liam Tiernan - did he go to Wexford Youths? If not (and maybe even if so), he's dropped out of LoI
Austin O'Neill - was with Kildare in their last season

[ifk101]

Ciaran Martyn recently switched to Glenavon.

[Hitman]

I think Colin P. O' Brien's playing for Ballydehob in the West Cork League.
