Showgrounds to Wembley

[Bigone57]

This has to be a record to go from the Showgrounds in Sligo to Wembley in London in less then a year and a half.

Any one know any player that did better.I don't think so.

Well done Seamie.

Well, Sligomen played in Wembley as far back as 1966

It took Lawrie Sanchez 10 years to achieve the managerial equivalent. He left the Showgrounds in 1995 and went on to manage Northern Ireland in Wembley versus England in March 2005.

I was thinking of Lawrie as well - went from scoring the winner in the FA Cup final against Liverpool to managing at the Showgies. Now there's a real honour.

Gary Dicker went from Belfield to Wembley in about the same length of time.

How long was it for Dixie Dean between when he was playing for us and his next Wembley appearance?

I think his next Wembley appearance after playing for Rovers was in an urn.
