Ndo is a quality player and has proved it for a number of teams over the last couple of years. Can be very inconsistant and indeed frustrating at times and is not blessed with loyalty to any employer (behaved badly in my opinion at St Pats) but can occasionally produce moments worth the asdmission money alone. Great game for Bohs in Eurpe last year (Red Bull away) where his ability to hold the ball up was a big factor in a very good result (his goal helped too !). Joey does not have the pace for a wide berth and in my view his best position is playing behind a main striker (no jokes required).
Alex Kristic and Owen De Gama...?
Yeah in fairness I've seen Ndo play against us numerous times and he destroyed us in most of the games. I suppose our best foreigner would have to be Eric Lavine by default really. It's either him or Heysham El Kershi!
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

You've got no fans.
Eamon Zayed!............................................ ..... i'll get my coat.
Yep. Da Gama is currently managing in the South African top filght. Was manager of the year in 2005 or thereabouts.
Was Henry McKop any good at Shels? Just a random name really.
Good shout on McKop. Wasn't that good but always stood out for me as he was a Zimbabwean international.

The Argentinian Leonardo Trinchin for Limerick.
Played 45 minutes for us, looked classy as hell for 5 minutes, until he got absolutely nailed in a tackle and never went near the ball again. Got released a week later (roughly).

That site says he played for "Limeries".......classy name for a football team.

Yeah, that's how I remember him alright.
Juan Sara had a decent enough reputation in the SPL before joining Shels. Did he ever get a game? Remember him playing in the U-21s at one stage.

Angolan winger Jose Quitongo was fabulious when he was with us in 2004.
When I was away on holidays, I bought an Angolan jersey, and it reminds me of him every time
I wear it.
Spot on on Ndo. When he wanted to play, he was untouchable. And not just with the ball either. He marked Paddy McCourt once for Shels in a game in Tolka when McCourt was tearing up teams single handedly. I'm not sure McCourt touched the ball that day. The best marking of a player I've ever seen in the LoI.
Thats going back over 20 years!
May as well throw Nelson Da Silva (RIP) in if we're going back that far. IMO he was better than Da Gama.
Kristic is now a FIFA Pro Agent, famous for bringing El Hadj Diouf to Liverpool.
