Trying to remember from BK's book but it was certainly not much more than that bluesfan.
Bobby Tambling was with us too for a season in answer to Osarusan, also Cork Celtic as said, and Rovers and Cork Alberts (with due props to bluemovie's investigative acumen! :D)
Peter Reid saw out the end of his career at Derry City, IIRC around 1994. He came for about a half a season and was said to be the best paid player in the league at about £1000 a week, so the rumour of the time had it. I know Reid was an England International as I recall him being easily beaten by Maradona as he went on to score his second best goal of that game...
Do you have a source for Peter Reid at Derry City?Quote:

Big Sam and Ray Hankin did not get full caps afaik.
I can think of only one player missed now and he played with Cobh Ramblers.
HAs Stephen Ireland played with England yet?Quote:

Did Paul Simpson get an England cap? He was at Harps during the same time.Quote:

You're probably thinking about Neil McNab - I can't remember Peter Reid ever playing for Derry.Quote:

Ian Callaghan's a good one, David Fairclough never played for England.
Frank Worthington - Galway United

Peter Reid only played in one freindly game for Derry City.
As mentioned above, Denis tuite and the superb Neil Mc Nabb played for Derry and did the buisness while with us.Two outstanding players.
While I can neither confirm or deny I would like to add to the speculation.Quote:

This would have been about the same time as McNabb, so after Roy Coyle left Derry, and Reid left Man City.
Thanks - I was wondering if I had simply dreamed it, but I couldn't face the thought that Peter Reid could enter my dreams....
If its good enough for Maradona's dreams, its good enough for yoursQuote:
