Trevor Brooking played for Cork City

Llewlin Reilly plated for Galway United. Who? He was the top scorer for the Barbados international team and Don O'Riordan brought him to Galway, got him signed up and set him in with an apartment. He played half a game in Turner's Cross against Cork City in the p***ing rain and got kicked around the place by City....and fled back to Barbados the following day.

Michael Donnelan (top GAA player, allegedly) played for Galway United. An extra 2000 people turned up for his debut which brought the crowd up to 2100

Well no... he never played first team football. We didn't think he was good enough, so farmed him out to our junior club, Liverpool. Wonder what ever happened to him?
