Barry Ryan, ex Limerick, and a few other clubs striker, played senior football for Limerick a few years back.
"fell through"? Wasn't he banned for months for lamping a ref in a junior match?Quote:

Cian Mackey played for us last year while also playing GAA for Cavan at county level.
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.
I think he played a lot more than that.Quote:

did anyone mention Jason Sherlock yet? Or Eoin Bennis? Or Eamon McLoughlin? Or Mick Deegan he played in the north at least (Crusaders?), I think, with another of the 90s Dubs, but not sure f he ever played LOI).
What about Keith Barr who, I think, scored a rocket against portsmouth (maybe even a hat trick???) for shels in a pre-season friendly?
Don't know if he had white boots or whether or not he is crazy but he played half a season with us under Tommy Cassidy, he was very young at the time. He currently features for the Fermanagh County team as well as playing for Dungannon Swifts (I think) in the Irish League.Quote:

Did John O'Hara, who played in goals for us a couple of seasons ago not play for Mayo at some stage.
I think he did a Chucky once and went in nets when Jelly Keenan was sent off.Quote:

John Rogers of Roscommon also played for Town, I don't know if he was mentioned already. Also some Quinn fella who's from Longford plays for Bohs and is also on the Longford county minors.Quote:

Yeah I was chatting a lad at the Camlin v Ballycumber final game a few weeksQuote:
