    Ex-Longford keeper Stephen "Digger" O'Brien was a very popular figure down on Leeside for his dancing moves and good banter, shame he never played for us! Good keeper he was, especially for his size.

    Mickey Collins I wouldn't have crossed Mickey Collins. Namesake Roddy. Top of the list. Absolute tool universally hated. We've all had a boss like him. I've had two. One I saw off, the other I left.

    I actually think Joey Ndo is the only "superstar" of the league,in that he is somebody a fairly large number of non loi-related people will know of.Patterson,Forrester etc are good players but I think its only loi fans that would be familiar with them.

    But will he bite someone or shoot a trainee with a bb gun? I think thats the kind of trait in a player that the op is looking for ?

    We do, just nobody's allowed to name him at the moment!

    Who, since leaving Rovers, has played for Exeter City in England, Dempo in India (leaving after a Twitter rant) and Deportivo Quevedo in Ecuador, to add to earlier spells in Canada, Hungary, Moldova and Germany. What a mad career path.

    Ndo is 37 soon, Sligo would wanna look at replacing him. Eventually.

    The words 'Gary', 'Stevens' and 'character' fit nicely together.

    What's mad is the fact he's still finding clubs to pay him money.

    Bizarre to think that I once was at a game he started in White Hart Lane.

    True story but when he arrived he was no where near that fitness level of the rest of the team, it was around 2004/2005 and we were on fire at that time.
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    After today's news, perhaps a few teams may be looking at signing Matty Burrows.
    Tifo poles, sausage rolls and a few goals.

    The only thing I could find was Ards getting promoted but that's not really something most of us would have been aware of.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    This is a bit off-topic, but I just saw on telly that Bobby Tambling (Chelsea's all-time top scorer ahead of Lampard) was brought out onto the field at half time at Stamford Bridge today.

    Tambling was the first manager of Cork City FC in 1984.
