He did play with them the season before us yeah. Always liked Kusten, can't remember where he went after us, I think it was to a club in the lower Dutch leagues.

He was a little left back.Would have been back up for kupono low at the time.Good little player but didn't get many games to be honest.Speaking of left backs james meredith played for york against stoke in the fa cup on saturday.He gave away the free kick that they scored their 3rd goal from.

Mauro Almeida the all time hero. Others that deserve a mention are Ramuel Miller, Luther Watson, Hutch, Gerry Carr and Michael Clancy(his time may have been short but he changed the game when he came on).

I think you mean Johnny Hoekes

spelling of his surname is a pure guess but when trying to get proper spelling on google - and failed - I came accross this article about Marcus Hallows.

By the way we all seem to have forgot about Michael Zalman!

ya, he was. (not his fault as he primarily was an outfield player, as you know yourself)
The club really was at a low ebb back then.

David Pugh was the best defender ever played for Rovers, often gets overlooked

avvenalaf me oul pal, from reading your posts it seems you must be an old stager like myself, were you the man who used to give myself and Tommy Fallon a hand after the games taking down the speakers and tidying up after games?

Welcome to the newest member of the AAS (Avvenalaf Appreciation Society). Rory H is my agent and Hon Sec of the Society.

No. Peachey, though I purchased many a Silver Circle line from the esteemed Thomas Fallon, I was never involved in anything as technical as speakers.

From what I can remember of it the draw took place every sunday in the Gilhooley hall after 12 mass. The proceeds of the draw went towards the up keep of the cathedral. I stand to be corrected on that.

From todays weekender

Quote:

Sligo’s sporting finest for 2009 are revealed!

Danny Ventre,
2009 may have been a bittersweet year for Sligo Rovers – League Cup semi-finalists, FAI Cup finalists and a return to European competition – but driving the team with a neversay-die attitude was Danny Ventre, a defender-cummidfielder.
