Heard a rumour that St Ledger is in Dub doing his coaching badges.

Player/Manager/Coach role in LOI?

With all he learnt about football off Mr Trapattoni, future Ireland manager?

Never say never in footie!

St. Ledger almost finished his rehab and is hoping a club will take a chance on him in preseason. - http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-35773073.html

This is usually around the time the doc would show up. Or has Sean decided to spend less time online?

St. Ledger reveals that Sligo Rovers made an approach for him in the recent past, but the timing wasn't ideal as he was only commencing his rehab programme: http://www.punditarena.com/irish-foo...-ireland-club/

�When Dave Robertson was at Sligo, he rang me up about going there but I was literally just starting my rehab programme and it was the wrong timing more than anything. But I�m open to anything really.�

Fair play to the lad, he just wants to play football, he could just retire after his knee problems but he just loves the game.

Credit to him

And on that note, fair play to all that chose to play the game - for the love it. Heroes!

This is getting to be way more than a joke. What is your relationship, if any, with the guy?

What's Taylor Swifts opinion of Solihull Doc? Is there a good night life there or something?

The St / Doc did a good job for us and I for one am grateful .

Good for him that he's got a team.
I know the doc's obsession with him makes a joke out of the situation but he filled a gap for Ireland when we were in need.
The options at the time were limited but 37 caps as a defender mostly under the ultra defensive Trap is nothing to make little of.
Hope it works out for him.

Poor start for our Doc with Solihull Motors 2-0 down to Wycombe at half time in the FA Cup.

Also noticed in Solihull squad is Fiacre Kelleher.

This one was missed the other day. Our Sean has signed for Guiseley having not played a single league match for Solihull Motors.

Yes, Good to see him back involved in the game, future Ireland manager.

Let�s not forget I said he would go on to play for Ireland, many on here dismissed it....

you joined the site in October 2007.
St Ledger was first called into the squad in August 2006.

But he didn�t make his debut until May 2009.

Prior to that he was called into Stauntons squad a few years earlier, but wasn�t � Givens� (Now that�s a story but I�ll keave it) a chance and left out of the squad, despite senior players rating him.

Many on here, wrote him off, that�s when I joined this site.

From that time I said he�d go on and be first choice for Ireland, you all mocked my claims.

Only injury prevented him from at least 75 caps.

I know my footie, and the rest as they say is history

So? He was already part of the setup, was on the bench away to Germany when we lost 1-0 in 2006. Predicting he would go on to play for Ireland doesn't make you Nostradamus.

Read the first few pages of the thread. Not many writing him off. Talk of a potential Premier League move.

Possibly. I'll give you twenty more caps. Forty is a bit much.

In this post you claimed St Ledger wouldn't get into the squad while Trapattoni was in charge. He earned all but one of his caps under the Italian.

Disappointing to see the doc putting the boot in on a good pro like St Ledger there. Expected more of him to be honest.

Thanks for the memories, only injury prevented more caps and the captaincy for Ireland for which he was lined up to take

Always sorry to see an Irish player retire - but I'm sure the foot.ie training will be an advantage if a career in punditry beckons! If not that, good luck with whatever else the future holds.

Obviously playing for Ireland was the highlight in an otherwise unremarkable career but thanks for the memories? Beating Estonia and effectively qualifying for the Euros is a highlight, but John Delaney's grin at the time of the draw puts that result in perspective. What else is there? Henry's hand ball, getting thrashed at the Euros ...

Best of luck in retirement Sean. You don't strike me as having the personality for coaching or management but I'm sure you tell everyone otherwise.

Unremarkable career? When you pull on that green jersey and get to play in front of such amazing fans, nothing compares to that.

Unremarkable? I�d say Amazing and a Honour....
