hey all i am currently working on a assignment for college. i am trying to discover the rate of players going to england in their teenage years and been rejected, returning home and because of this they quit football. and i am also looking at the number of players who are successfully bred into the eircom league. so if anyone can tell about someone a true story please pm me or post it here.
cheers
contact Eoin Hand at the FAI. He helps young kids who return home and even runs a course in DCU for ex-apprentice footballers.

I think it was Darragh Sheridan (recently released by Longford) who started the FAI course with Eoin Hand - he was released by Aston Villa I think and did a lot fo work for guys in the same situation. I'd imagine he'd be happy to help if it's a serious project.
Yes , Darragh Sheridan is the man to contact. Longford Town committee would have a contact number for him.
