EL Players Overseas

[Rocky77]

The guy's been playing and living in England for 13 years, went over from us to Millwall when he was 21. Could it be that he has family beyond and has no interest in moving home?

[Dodge]

I'd say thats it.

Plus he's from Dublin, not Longford

I know, by 'home' I meant Ireland.

Ex Cork City Defender Damien Delaney signs for QPR http://www.qpr.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10373~1216856,00.html.

[Block G Raptor]

You've lost a few in that clean up, I think. The legendary Jimmy Aggrey is gone for a start. I think he was with Southport.

Also, Damien Dupuy (Galway, UCD), is with some club in Switzerland. PM him and he'll probably tell you which one! It was Etoile someone-or-other in Geneva last I heard.

Aggrey is playing for Harchester Utd (http://www.harchester.tv/history_players_dioupw.htm)

[Martinho II]

no way how do you know it is jimmy aggrey???:confused:

[pineapple stu]

Wikipedia knows all... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Aggrey)

[Martinho II]

thats unreal about jimmy aggrey!!!

No the only famous face in Dream Team. The goalkeeper was Alex O'Reilly, who won a European Under 16 title under Brian Kerr. A descendant of Ballinalee I think, once opened the Abbeyshrule Airshow!

He was on trial with Athlone Town last season was going to sign and then all went quiet for some reason

The not exactly shocking news that Brian O' Callaghan hasn't rocketed to superstardom cross-channel.

But...but...he was playing with a Championship quality club, so how could he fail at a Conference club?!

[GavinZac]

But...but...he was playing with a Championship quality club, so how could he fail at a Conference club?!

He was widely regarded as not good enough by anyone who saw him play for Cork City, and failed in that regard at both clubs; hence not being retained by either.

[gufct]

Great to see Damien Delaney make the full squad. http://www.qpr.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10373~1308908,00.html and congrats to Wes Holohan another ex el player.

[sligofan4ever]

[Réiteoir]

Avery is at FC Miami in the USL (the 2nd division in the USA) atm - he's one of the "Blacklisted" players from the T&T national team thanks to a row about outstanding money from the 2006 World Cup.

Couple more for the list:

Darren Mansaram is now at Leigh Genesis in Conference North (Blue Square North)
Fergal Harkin turns out for Dunston Federation Brewery in non-League football in Northeast England

Dave Morrison did his cruciate earlier last season for the Solihull Moors (the new name for Moor Green post merger with Solihull Borough) - hopefully he'll be back this season

# Marcus HALLOWS (d.o.b. 7 July 1975, height 6ft 1in, weight 12st 9lb)

Bolton-born Marcus (left, with Jamie Almond) is a tall, mobile striker who signed on 21 Nov. 2003 on loan from Chorley before signing on non-contract terms on 17 Feb. 2004. After a spell at Leigh RMI, he was with Bolton Wanderers (1995/96 -their first season in the Premiership), then Stockport County, Sligo Rovers (98/99) and St Patrick's Athletic (Ireland, 99/00). He was at Leigh (2001-02) before going to Stalybridge Celtic (2002-03) from where he went on loan to Lancaster City in January 2003. In October 2002 Marcus was stretchered off against Alty, when playing for Celtic, with a dislocated shoulder and fractured arm. Marcus scored on his full league debut for Alty at Moss Lane, against Radcliffe. However, in early 04-05 he only started on the bench but after getting his chance he scored regularly once again. Nevertheless, he was again cast in a substitute's role in early 2005. Outside football, Marcus is an accomplished Elvis Presley impersonator! A badly broken leg against Ashton United sidelined Marcus on 19 March 2005. App's to June 2004: 28(+2), goals 11.

Jamie McKenzie(Sligo Rovers) has signed for Apollon FC Limassol in Cyprus.

"those irish beat us! We must sign one of them."

[90minutes]

:D

"those irish beat us! We must sign one of them."

he's scottish ;)

[sligoman]

he's scottish ;)He's referring to Cork City beating Apollon.

Anyway, it turns out it's Aris Limassol he's signed for, not Apollon.

[Tenderloins]

I see ex Bohs striker Andrey Pereplotkin has joined Derby on loan.

[finnpark]

Alan Bennet released by Reading. Im sure Mattews will be sniffing around. :)

Good signing the above for Derby, I wish more LOI would look to Latvia, Estonia and Lituania etc and take their best players.

[TheBoss]

That is the next step for improvement, to get players from those eastern european nations, those you mentioned, and maybe Belarus, Poland etc.

[Longfordian]

Cork have some Latvian guy who played/plays for FK Riga on trial with them this week apparently. Ginst Freimanis.

[finnpark]

That is the next step for improvement, to get players from those eastern european nations, those you mentioned, and maybe Belarus, Poland etc.

Yeah Belarus and Moldova. Can't be any dearer than many of the players here. If we get their best players we could rise very quickly

[pineapple stu]

And Bohs signed an FK Riga player after playing them in the InterToto (though curiously, there was no condemnation of the club as when Gent signed Dominic Foley two weeks after meeting in the same competition :) )

Pat's signed some Polish lad too. We've had a few Hungarians in the past, a Romanian last year and had a Slovakian on trial this year until it turned out he lied about his position.

[sligoman]

Mark Boyd(Ex-Rovers) is with Barrow AFC in England.

[finnpark]

Roy O'Donovan has gone on loan to lowly Dundee Utd for the season.
