Think you could be right there, can't remember the exact details...

Going back a bit - Alan Doherty played corner forward for Louth and striker for Longford.

**JR_Ewing** · 03/06/2008, 11:41 PM

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.

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.

Dessie Barry also lined out for the Town in his day. Adrian Murphy is back playing with Slashers.

He drove to Dublin that evening to get to the celebrations. I was on my way from the bar to the jacks and bumped into him on his way into the lobby.
He also gave Frankie van der Elst a rough night of it in the Showgrounds when Rovers played Bruges in the Cup Winners' Cup.

Alan Kelly formerly of Dublin City and Kildare County played corner forward for Carlow in the Championship last year or the year before

**seand60** · 04/06/2008, 4:45 PM

Dessie Dolan senior, Westmeath and Athlone Town.
Micky McCann, Antrim and Athlone Town?

Met Adrian recently, he's not playing any ball at all as he has some kind of lung complaint. He's hoping to get back to soccer next year although that could have just been pub talk! Andy Moran of Mayo was on the books of LTFC for a few years. Martin Reilly played a couple of games for us then played GAA for Cavan. 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.

**Maz** · 05/06/2008, 9:08 AM

Michael Quinn, County Minor alright and plays for Bohs. Did hear he had got a trial somewhere in England recently. Must find out more. Great player at both sports

Yeah I was chatting a lad at the Camlin v Ballycumber final game a few weeks
ago and he was saying Adrian had some complaint but wasnt sure exactly what was wrong!

Its very debatable whether Micky McCann ever really played for Athlone
Super super Mick, Super super Mick McCann

**Tenderloins** · 05/06/2008, 1:58 PM

Didn't see Dave Barrys (Cork/Cork City) name mentioned yet.

Dominic Foley (ex James Gate/ Bohs) played underage for Cork.

Wicklow keeper Mervyn Travers was on the books of Bray Wanderers a while back.

Richie Foran famously got in trouble for playing a GAA game when he was home from Carlisle.

Did Meath Keeper Brendan Murphy ever play LOI? was on the books of Wimbledon and some other English clubs.
