No idea, get your hands on the double winning video from 2001 and you'll see what an impact he made when he signed mid-season from Harps. It was our mid-season signings that made all the difference for us that year, himself and Mark Rutherford.
Quality player, total tosser though!
That's exactly the memory queens fans have of him too! I've been meaning to buy that DVD in the shop for a while.
I think he had a total of 3 spells with Galway and was a year or 2 at kilkenny also.Quote:

We nicknamed him "The Ostrich" cos he was large and flightless!
Dont remember Jumbo playing for us.
Could also add Davy Byrne
- Shels
- Derry
- Longford
- Athlone * (see Ryan Casey comment)
The ultimate EL journey man has to be Paul Newe, a tricky winger, who during the 80's appeared to be playing for a different club each week. Another journey manI recall was the striker Mark Ennis who got a big money transfer to Derry City where his career fell apart.
He's the RDO for Sligo, Leitrim, Mayo and Roscommon now...Quote:

He actually finished his playing career with St Francis.
I remembering seeing a piece on Trevor Benjamin being the ultimate journeyman in English football. He's only 28 and is playing with his 16th club!!! :eek:
