[A face]

Name every player that played with City, they have to have been registered and featured in a league or a cup game.

Good idea this one aface. List now sorted in alphabetical order and duplicates removed. Im keeping an excel doc of this so any new player add to the end and a few times a day i'll refresh the original list.

[James]

[paudie]

Mario Vulkov was one of the 2 unnamed Bulgarians.

Not sure if I'm impressed with myself or embarressed that I remember that:o

[James]

impressed nothing to be ashamed of Sir.
Got any more city players.. surely theres at least another few hundred out there we're missing out on

[paudie]

1.Paddy Hughes was our best striker a couple of the seasons at the Lodge.Bearded Dubliner who scored in the 2 leg Cup semi v Rovers in 87.

2. Liam Keane - also played the first couple of seasons. Centre back who had played with Cork United

3. Ian Hennessy - How could you forget?!!! Stunned 10,000 drunken Derry fans by scoring a late winner in the FAI Cup QF at the lodge in 1987(?)

4. Jim Mulcahy - Goalkeeper from Corosshaven, a regular the first few seasons.

5. Jimmy Nodwell - midfielder of the same era. Also played with Limerick

6. Mike Mellon - englishman played in the league decider v Dundalk. Played for years afterwards in England, Tranmere mostly I think.

7.Also scottish guy came over with Mellon, can't think of his name.

8. Mick O'Keeffe - hard as nails centre half. Sent off late in Cup QF with Derry for getting stuck in Derry fans or officials or someone

[paudie]

There was a Dublin keeper - Kelly. Played for the Irish U21's while he was with City.

I' m going for a little lie down now:(

[The Good Son]

Bobby Woodruff, played our first season.
Eamonn O Keefe, player/manager.
Barry Neiland and another Neiland brother I think, not Stephen as far as I remember.
Kieran Nagle, played 90's.
Damien O Connell, played 90's.
Mark? Summerbell on loan 90's.

[Copa Mundial]

Mathew Carr
Aidan Cawley-Goalkeeper
Clem Mahon-87/88 ?
John O Leary-87/88?
Ian Hennessy
Tim Dalton-Goalkeeper
Rob Hindmarch

[kingcolers]

i thought stuart ashton got the goal v derry in the cup?

[paudie]

i thought stuart ashton got the goal v derry in the cup?

Definitely was Ian Hennessy.
He went to the same school as me. Came on as sub and scored very late on. An awful game. Cork supporters outnumbered by Derry.

[Risteard]

I didn't think Softic had played in a league or cup game yet.

[razor]

7.Also scottish guy came over with Mellon, can't think of his name. Does the name Paul Armstrong ring any bells with anyone ?

[paudie]

Does the name Paul Armstrong ring any bells with anyone ?

That could be him all right

[James]

paul armstrong in deed rings a bell

just got a great doc of city players via aface from resident city statto supremo gerry desmond. will update lateron this evening but we're gona be increasing that list size quite dramatically :eek:

[drinkfeckarse]

Ye had a fella playing for ye circa 94 called Nicholls. I think it might've been Davie. I think he went on to play at Clyde and Dunfermline amongst others. I remember him because he halfed me in a League Cup game at Bishopstown:mad: :D

[CollegeTillIDie]

There was a Dublin keeper - Kelly. Played for the Irish U21's while he was with City.

I' m going for a little lie down now:(

That would have been Paul Kelly who also played with Home Farm and Longford Town.. went to my secondary school like!:D

[CollegeTillIDie]

Paul Wimbleton.. joined ye in 1995/96 season and his introduction as well as two others in Belfield Park when they had not been registered cost ye three points as I recall.

7. That chap was called Gallagher - Brian I think and he was a good player too.

8. Still one of the great comic moments as he chased the sheepskin coat up the ramp at the Lodge, landed a few digs, and trotted back to accept his red card!

[razor]

[drinkfeckarse]

Well he ain't called "Slap" for nothing.

Christ that's a blast from the past!! He was better than a lot of people gave him credit for I thought.

[James]

[kevincronin2000]

Ther was a black guy who made his debut away to derry and never played again. He was our first black player. cant remember his name tho.

Anychance of posting that list James.

Also, I wonder does anyone have a list of all City's managers and dates of their tenure? I often wondered if you compared tham all on a win, draw, lose league system who would be the best manager (statistically!). Can anyone start us off?

[A face]

Can anyone start us off?


Tucker Allen was first up (i think) and could be wrong here but was it for two seasons ??

[Fair_play_boy]

Mario Vulkov was one of the 2 unnamed Bulgarians.

Not sure if I'm impressed with myself or embarressed that I remember that:o:p OK, that reminds me. The "post of the month" nominations should be opening any day now. WD Paudie. Posts like that help to give foot.ie a good name!!!!!

[Fair_play_boy]

. . . does anyone have a list of all City's managers and dates of their tenure?Did that a while back here (http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=16847). Makes pretty interesting reading. The list is as follows:
1984 Bobby Tambling
1985 Tony "Tucker" Allen
1986 Noel O'Mahony
1987 Eamon O'Keefe
1988 Noel O'Mahony
1993 Damien Richardson
1994 Noel O'Mahony
1995 Rob Hindmarch (R.I.P.)
1996 Dave Barry
2000 Colin Murphy (former Shelbourne manager)

Fair dues Fair_play_boy, that's good to know. I didn't know there was a thread on this before ... sorry about that.

I wonder would Gerry Desmond (the statistical Yoda that he is) have a list of played, won, drew, lost information for each manager. I think it would be interesting. Is anyone in contact with him?

[Risteard]

Jayz Ronin, you'll never be happy : )

[A face]

Jayz Ronin, you'll never be happy : )

I'm the same though, i'd love to be able to get all that info. There is a thread in the main forum about books on eL and Irish footie, and there is not alot there when you think of it .... would be great to be able to get to it all.

[yiddo]

8. Still one of the great comic moments as he chased the sheepskin coat up the ramp at the Lodge, landed a few digs, and trotted back to accept his red card!

Was right down at the front that day and when Ian Hennessey scored the winner for City the sheepskin guy, who was a Derry official, took offence at the celebrations and spat at the nearest City player. Unfortunately for Mr Sheepskin it was Slap :D
The rest as they say is history!

[yiddo]

6. Mike Mellon - englishman played in the league decider v Dundalk. Played for years afterwards in England, Tranmere mostly I think.

Mickey Mellon didn't play in the league decider against Dundalk in April 1991. He joined in October/November 91 along with Declan Roche. Both joined on short term loans. I think Mellon came from Blackpool. Mellon got a great goal into the Shed end in a 4-1 win over Dundalk? At the end of the loan period Mellon went back to England and Roche moved to Shels although he did rejoin City the following season. Mellon played for Tranmere for several seasons and was team captain there as well.
The 2 English playerws that played against Dundalk in the league decider were Armstrong and Gallagher.

[Ronin]

Jayz Ronin, you'll never be happy : )

I know! I'm a lazy sod too ... I expect someone else to do all the work.

But, like A Face said I'd really like to know. I now Gerry Desmond did statistical "annuals" way back on the League Of Ireland and Irish soccer in general, which I thought were really interesting (You can see them in the City Library reference section, but I think you have to ask them as they are in storage). So I was hoping that maybe he had some stats on the managers buried away somewhere.

The only problem with Gerry is hes normally up the walls, he'd help you no worries if he can alright, but you'd have to ask nicely :)

True! I suppose I should really get off my arse and do it myself and not trouble the man. I might get round to doing a bit of research into it in the summer.

Let us know what you need when you do, so we can fill in the blanks as you go.

Cheers A Face. I'll keep you posted on any progress I make.

I remember that Dundalk game as one of the best City displays ever.

Barry, Conroy, and McCabe had the luxury of playing a game of head/foot tennis midway through the second half and Dundalk were lucky not to suffer a G.A.A. score.

Roche was one of the most talented wasters to play the game in Ireland.He ended up at Thurles and, later, at Monaghan.

Definitely would have been a GAA score if it wasn't for Alan O'Neill, despite leaving in four goals it was one of the best goal keeping displays I remember from an away side in The Box.

I remember watching him in a pre-season friendly (maybe agains Swansea, but not sure) and thinking, 'this guy is our new star', the he signed for WATERFORD![/B][/B][/B]

[NY Hoop]

A guy called Tony Eeles when we played you at bi****stown. Rubbish. Another was a black keeper you used to fly in every week around the same time.

Actually looking for the first edition of that Irish Football Handbook Gerry the Dub used to do.

[Ozymandias]

that ian hennessy goal is one of the all time highlights..A toe poke to win the game...the city bench and directors were disgusted..they wanted a replayand a pay day at the brandywell cause derry had just entered the league and had enormous support.....they had at least 10,000 at the lodge...what a buzz that day..the match was rubbish but a great occassion
