Im sure there is more for both
Robbie Doyle on the move again after being released by Dundalk.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Doyle
9 separate clubs, 9 transfers, 2 loan spells in around 8 or 9 seasons of senior football.Quote:
He started his career with Blackburn Rovers spending 3 years at the club. He had loan spells at Huddersfield Town and Oldham Athletic before returning back to Ireland.
Doyle had a short spell at St Patrick's Athletic on his return before joining Bray Wanderers in time for the 2001/02 season. He made a handful of appearances at the club when Paul Doolin offered him regular first team football at UCD and so Doyle was on his way again. He scored on his debut for UCD on the first day of the 2002/03 season against Bohemians and his performances that season impressed Stephen Kenny enough to offer him a move to Bohemians at the end of the season. Doyle made a decent start to life at Dalymount and played in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers but he fell out with Kenny and in mid 2004, he returned once again to St Patricks Athletic. He has since played for Bray Wanderers (again) and Macclesfield Town.
On July 4th, 2007, Robbie agreed to sign for Dundalk FC from Macclesfield Town.
Add UCD, Monaghan, Longford and Drogheda for Myler anyway.Quote:

As far as I now he has played for Harps, Derry, Galway, Athlone, Shams, Dundalk and Waterford, possibly up the north as well. In England OPR, Burnley and Preston and also I remember Ski been on the now defunct Superchannel playing in the Dutch league many moons ago.
Paul Doolin and Richie Purdy spring to mind. Purdy ended his career with spells at UCD and Kildare, havingn done the rounds before that (Rovers, Derry and Dundalk, I think?). Doolin pretty much played for every Dublin team twice, most of the IL and Derry.
That piece of p1ss Alan Reynolds has been at quite a few too. Waterford, Shelbourne, Rovers, Cork, Longford, Waterrord again and Rovers again!!!
Lester played for the DrogsQuote:

Paul Doolin's league career reads something like this : Bohemians, Shamrock Rovers, Derry City, Shelbourne, Portadown, Derry City, Shamrock Rovers, Portadown, Shelbourne, UCD as a player.
So far as a manager his career is UCD, Drogheda United.
I remember seeing Brendan Markey's career.
Bohemian FC
Millwall FC
Dundalk FC
Bohemian FC
Shamrock Rovers FC
Waterford United FC
Newry Town FC
Bohemian FC
Dublin City FC
Glenavon FC
Dundalk FC
Athlone Town AFC
Monaghan United FC
St. Patrick's Athletic FC
Kildare County FC
Dublin City FC
He is still only 31.
One game, a friendly against TNS. Played in what looked like gold shoes.Quote:

He also played for St. Patrick's Athletic which almost gives Dermo links to all the surviving Dublin clubs.Quote:

Well as he didn't play the final season was the previous one ! ;)Quote:

Billy Brennan didn't play this season; does that make him not a player?
What constitutes a journeyman exactly, how many clubs like? Would Eric Lavine/Wesley Charles qualify?
Class player in his day. He actually had three stints with Galway United.Quote:

Two decades later, those statistics are his legacy as they were our biggest away and home defeats ever. Neverhteless, Ski is our all time top scorer ever.
His next job as a manager came this year at Limerick 37.
He has lived in Galway since the 80's and he was actually training a local junior team in Knocknacarra this week.
Mark Leech has played for UCD, Drogs, Bohs, Shels and now on his way to galway, not bad for a 23 year old
I class journeyman as someone who sin't that good and kinda just foats around clubs. A player like Doolin moves onto the better deal. Mercenary is probably a a better wordQuote:

That's pretty incredible :eek:Quote:

You're talking first team here. Tommy Dunne played loads of games for the Under 21's never made a first team appearance. I don't consider him to have played for UCD in the Eircom League of Ireland Premier Division same difference !...Quote:

One of their original shows was continental football weekly roundups. Akin to what we see now on Setanta things like a Dutch show, a German show etc. A number of mergers occurred between the above name channels and I believe Rupert Murdoch bought one or two of them when he was turning his fledgling SKY channels into BSKYB or British Sky Broadcasting. I believe that purchasing one or two of the channels which showed sports, was the origin of SKYSPORTS channels.Quote:
