Former eLoI Players Playing GAA

[Blueandproud]

Hi Lads

Heard former Blues player P.J. Banville had a good game for the Wexford Gaelic Footballers today.

Does anyone know of any other former e.L.o.I. players who are now playing for their counties in hurling or football

[Red4Eva]

sean flannery, michael mcnamara, johnny davey, phillip gallagher

[pineapple stu]

Stephen Hurley and Stephen Lynch, though not sure if they're at county level. I think both may have played there at one time though.

Jason Sherlock. :) Eóin Keating.

[Paddyfield]

Lots of ex GUFC players have played GAA for Galway. The highest profile ones include Michael Donnelan, Norman Costello, Ricky O'Flaherty and Fergal O'Neill. Current keeper Gary Rogers has played in goals for Meath. GUFC chairman John Fallon played in Croke Park in an All Ireland Minor Final.

[superfrank]

A few ex-Wanderers lads have played for Wicklow. Leighton Glynn, Wicklow's current best player, is the one name I remember. There's Stephen Hurley and Gary Rogers as has been mentioned. I know there a few others.

Lynchy last played for Longford in the 2005 championship. He has since played with Granard but I don't know if he's even doing that now.

Pity he jacked it in cos he was a quality half back. Scored a memorable last-minute winning goal over Kerry in a League game in 04 - Jack O'Connor's first game in charge.

Actually, believe it or not, Niall Sheridan spent a season playing up front for LTFC. That's when we were really s***e!

[bishbash]

eric bradley played in midfield for wexford today im sure he played up front for waterford united at some stage a few years back.

[HarpoJoyce]

LLoyd Colfer formerly of UCD, SRFC and Bray played for his local Taghmon-Camross (Wexford and Ivan Yates) club in the recent RTE Celebrity Bainisteoir.

[Sam_Heggy]

Brendan Devenney played for Harps and Donegal GAA.

Played for the Youths last season.

[red bellied]

Conor O Grady, Johnny Kenny, Davd Pugh, Gerry Mitchell, Tony Fagan and Sean Fallon have all played for the Sligo senior side and the Rovers. Ger Houlihan played a season or two for Rovers while also playing for Armagh at the same time. When matches clashed he put the GAA first. I am sure there alot more as well.

A few ex-Wanderers lads have played for Wicklow. Leighton Glynn, Wicklow's current best player, is the one name I remember. There's Stephen Hurley and Gary Rogers as has been mentioned. I know there a few others.

Did Leighton Glynn really used to play for Bray???

[Blueandproud]

It's nice to hear what Lloyd Colfer is doing now. He was with us during Mike Kerleys' time as manager at the R.S.C. I thought he was a good player. I also thought he never really got a fair chance with us.

[ndrog]

Ibrahima Thiam Iyane played hurling for louth for a while .He was bloody good at it !

[Seagull]

Did Leighton Glynn really used to play for Bray???

They tried to sign him but it all fell through, he never played for us. Tommy Gill did though and he's still turning out for Wicklow.

Fizzy Greene was with Rovers for a while too as a young fella, no?

[prince20]

Gary Connaughton now of westmeath formerly played with Athlone Town

[Battery Rover]

Mickey Greene formally of Cork City and Cobh Ramblers now living in Athlone and playing for Westmeath.

Hopefully Westmeath lose out early in the Championship and we get him playing soccer again.

[rambler14]

How to put this in a non-racist way but, is that the black lad? If it is who i'm thinking of then he never actually played for Ramblers just the U21's.

[Flawless]

Didnt Kildares Ger Robinson play Gaelic for meath?

[gustavo]

Ryan McCluskey played for us and a few other teams and plays for Fermanagh

[Aaron]

Former Derry GAA player Anthony Tohill played one game for Derry City

[Ash]

Former Town keeper Shane Curran also played for the Rossies

Thats him.

[Rovers fan]

Former Town keeper Shane Curran also played for the Rossies

he's an absolute nutter!

[Battery Rover]

he's an absolute nutter!

Was chatting to him at one of the Under 20 rugby internationals at the pre match meal and he offered to do an after dinner speech at our player of the year awards this season. Looking forward to it if I can get it planned as he is one mad f*ck*r

[Grey Boy]

Did Leighton Glynn really used to play for Bray???

I remember him scoring a 30 yard screamer in a pre-season friendly. Can't for the life of me remeber who we played though.

Didn't Josh Moran play for Wicklow as well?

[superfrank]

John Walsh played for Donegal as well, afaik.

[JR_Ewing]

Robbie Griffin (ex Pats, UCD and Kildare Town) played gaa for my club for the last 3 years.


Dan Connor used to play for my club also but is still playing LOI.

[Martinho II]

Didnt Kildares Ger Robinson play Gaelic for meath?

did indeed..

[Martinho II]

paul kelly from edgeworthstown who made a few first team appearances for us played for longford in the leinster championship... enda henry kenny john rogers all played gaa for rossies..gary murphy who resigned for us this season appeared for longford earlier this year in the o byrne cup... paddy mulivihill who played for us under alan matthews is playing co gaa with westmeath..

[B1977]

Former Derry GAA player Anthony Tohill played one game for Derry City
He also played one reserve match for Manchester United

[B1977]

Conor O Grady, Johnny Kenny, Davd Pugh, Gerry Mitchell, Tony Fagan and Sean Fallon have all played for the Sligo senior side and the Rovers. Ger Houlihan played a season or two for Rovers while also playing for Armagh at the same time. When matches clashed he put the GAA first. I am sure there alot more as well.

I Think Ger Houlihan missed the FAI cup final due to it clashing with a GAA match.He played in the FAI semi final against Limerick FC back in 1995

Are you sure it would be safe? you wouldn't know what he's capable of!!

[deecay]

Ryan McCluskey played for us and a few other teams and plays for Fermanagh
That the crazy fella with the white boots?


paul kelly from edgeworthstown who made a few first team appearances for us played for longford in the leinster championship.
Heard that name before somewhere?

[stann]

Think a few of our lads have played Gaelic Football at different times. Banville was definitely playing for Wexford while still with us.
Eric Bradley (played under Paul Power, bishbash, about 5 seasons ago?), Robbie Griffin, Dan Connor, Lloyd Colfer were all with us too in recent years, but don't remember them playing GAA while they were here.
To drag it back in time, John Frost definitely played football at county level for Waterford while here, possibly intermediate though. I've a feeling that Alan Reynolds did likewise.

[rambler14]

Ex-Ramblers and Waterford utility man Robert Brosnan used to play football with the Cork minors and played a few challenge games for the senior side.
A lot of the current Rams team play GAA with their local clubs and I have no doubt that a few have played with their counties at some level.

[stann]

Was going to edit to put Brosnan in. Damn you rambler14! :D

He was famously (relatively) let go last season for lining out for a GAA club side a day or two before a crunch Blues match.

[Rovers fan]

Heard that name before somewhere?

Ya he's some gobsh1te from sligo afaik!! Do you know him?!

[deecay]

Ya he's some gobsh1te from sligo afaik!! Do you know him?!
I heard he's some strong handsome young man

[Ash]

Enda Kenny Athlone Town, Longford Town and the Rossies.

Dunno if his brother Henry played intercounty but he plays
club in Ros and also lined out for the 2 Towns.

[joeSoap]

Barry Ryan, ex Limerick, and a few other clubs striker, played senior football for Limerick a few years back.

[Macy]

They tried to sign him but it all fell through, he never played for us.
"fell through"? Wasn't he banned for months for lamping a ref in a junior match?

[Ceirtlis]

Sean Malee once of Galway United played abit for Mayo a few years back and Johnny Glynn was the Clare hurling team physical trainer under Anthony Daly.

[passinginterest]

Eoin Quigley plays for the Wexford hurlers now having played centre half for Bohemians as a teenager.
Ben Brosnan and Eric Bradley played for the Youths last year and are now with the Gaelic footballers.

[Magicme]

Cian Mackey played for us last year while also playing GAA for Cavan at county level.

[ollie]

Colin O Brien won an AI minor medal with Cork in 93. Played with the 21s too afaik.
Former City player Damien Delaney who's now with QPR was a Cork minor also.

[lofty9]

Former Derry GAA player Anthony Tohill played one game for Derry City

I think he played a lot more than that.

Didn't he also go in nets when Tony O Dowd was sent off away to Levski Sofia or am I talking out of my hoop?:confused:

[harps1954]

John Walsh played for Donegal as well, afaik.

He played GAA for Wicklow.

Some others that played for Harps and Donegal were Barry McGowan, Declan Bonner (both 1992 All Ireland Winners), Paul Callaghan, Shane Bradley, Kevin 'Whoppa' McMenamin and Ollie Reid to name but a few.
