Heffernan is back on song that's 3 goals in his last 3 games tonight's goal was supposed to be pretty tasty even if the Villa defense were napping. Waster Thornton got a class goal too. Hopefull this is the start of his turnaround, well it has to be his last chance anyway.
Is Mulligan Irish too?
Mulligan plays for New Zealand
According to the Sky commentary he is a New Zealand international.Quote:

Heffernan broke the 20 goal mark two seasons ago in a year when notts county were relegated from league 1. He made a move to Bristol City that didn't work out. I thinnk he's only on loan at Doncaster.
Hardly - its not like they're world class footballers. I'm sure there is some village that has produced 2 EL footballers which is about the same level as English 3rd/4th.Quote:

Probably James O'Connors jersey from when he was at Stoke. I think he's from that neck of the woods.
Newtownmountkennedy - now that's a desperate place. Is Clive Clarke from there as well? That's the other footballer you mentioned?Quote:

Paul Heffernan. The rest is pretty much as Dr. Peepee has said. There was even a whole thread on him here over a year ago I think. Somebody put forward the idea that Heffernan might be the coming season's positive surprise from an Irish perspective.
Just looking at the table there. They're 3 points off a playoff place at the minute. Would be nice if they got promoted..
Sean Thornton has more talent than that whole Villa team put together. His problems have been off the field. He was brilliant last night. My MoM. I see he dedicated his goal to his son as well. Maybe he has got his life in order. If so he could well be back playing at a higher level. Heffernan has been scoring freely but needs again to move to a higher level to be considered for us.
I still checkle at Howard Wilkinson's first comment to Thornton - he spotted him with the white boots and bleached hair - "Son, you'd better be some F&*king player".
He was Alan Greene's MOM too.
Tubbercurry has produced Gary Curran and Rafael Cretaro :)Quote:
