Tohill had a season at the Brandywell. Wasn't cut out for anything other than filling in as goalie. He wasn't a loss to football, certainly didn't miss his true calling anyway.
Though I do agree with the general point about the LOI now being a viable place for players to come. As you say, players now returning have a legitimate chance of making it back over (McCourt, Fahey, Lafferty just a few examples). And that's not to mention players like Kerrea Gilbert coming over too.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
I don't think it's too much of a step now for more players to decide to play some of the end of their career in Ireland. If, say, Richard Dunne or Damien Duff were to play maybe two seasons a la David Kelly, I think it would really boost the profile of the league. I know there'd be a problem with wage demands, but surely there are a few players out there clever enough to realise that they already have plenty of money, and being one of the people who helped popularise the League of Ireland is something money can't buy?
