Infamous Players at your club

Just saw a comment on another thread by a Bohs fan about Jimmy Agrey and it got me thinking about legendary bad "imported" players at clubs.

At United we've had the silky skills of Llewellyn Riley the Barbados captain who was 4 months late joining us. Played 60 minutes in the ****ing rain in Cork, decided he was homesick and went back to Barbados!

Ryan Lucas another Barbados international is a cult hero, he joined with Eric Lavine and Luther Watson. Lucas played about 60 games and scored 10 goals or so but is a legend for his misses!

We've had a Russian 34 year old called Vladimir Antanamov who played 1 game in Kilkenny a few seasons back, allegedly towards the end of last season he was at the gates of Terryland trying to get in for free by saying "I Vlad, I player"

we have had our fair share of them aswell in the showgrounds.
Falcon Rose played about 7-8 years ago,was a great player but one day just up sticks and left without telling anyone.
Darren Jack(sorry to Rovers fans but had to mention him)
When he singed,then manager Don O'Riordon built him up to be the best player ever......when he played....he wasnt so good.

Kenny Clemence.

Hired as Limerick manager, moved his family over here and got a house and all that (it I remember correctly), then found out he couldnt manage for cr@p.

(not strictly a player I know)

Pa "Super Pa" Dunne. Clumsy centre forward from Tuam who couldn't pass or tackle. He was with Galway United for a few years in the late 1980's but rarely started. He looked like a headless chicken when he ran even though he rarely ran.

But by heck, he scored some spectaculr goals which gave him a cult status. Rumour has it that the new stand in Terryland is to be called the Patrick Dunne Stand. :rolleyes:

Sinisa Savic. Famous for his personalised website www.sinisavic.com. Spent one game in Tolka snogging his bird in the stand all game and not watching the match apparently. By the end of his stay he was on the bench for the Under 21s. Asked the club photographer if he could photoshop some crowds into his action photos for his website, the pictures having been taken at under 21 games! Other allegations about his behaviour in Barnsley while there are far too libellous to mention.

If you wanna plumb the depths of infamy in its widest sense - former Pats player Derek Dunne was shot dead in Amsterdam a few years back, in a drugs-relating killing.

Tony Hopper, never has another player made me scream so loud so often.

Neil Trebble and Junkie Molloy.

i wouldnt say he was legendary but Paul Brown for Rovers has got to rank up there for bad signings...last season, spending 10k euro on the striker from Limavady, he played 18 times for us and hit the net once.

well considering Choice is good and has helped us this season with his excellent performance against Drogheda......he shouldnt be on it.
Choice may surprise a few people tonight if he gets a run.
