Good left foot but probably too acostomed to time on the ball like he would have had in the premier, didn't like the rough and tumble of the FD like so many others before him.Originally Posted by L.T.F.C.
TC said on Shannonside that Chris Deans has retired due to an achilles injury. He was, along with Salmo, our longest serving player having joined prior to the 2010 season. A good servant to the Town and we'll all remember his heroics in last year's play offs.
Yeah best of luck to Chris
When he came back from Derby, I thought Chris Deans was going to become one of the finest defenders ever seen in the Irish game. He had all the attributes needed, but it never really happened for him. Sad to see him retire.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
Don't recall seeing much of him at his peak but he was always caught for pace by the time he came to us. He did give us some good years overall but his actions in Tolka a few months back will always be a black mark against him and a bad way for him to go out as a Town player. As I say though he generally gave his best for us so good luck to him in whatever he does.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
He made six appearances for us this season and was three shy of makin 100 apps in total for us. I had no idea he had retired as one of the lads that post here was looking for his stats.. Like Longfordian my memories of him is limited but he was superb for us in the playoffs last season. His disclipinary record was dodgy to say the least but I would like to wish him the best of luck. he always had time for sect o at matches and reminded me of Vinny Perth in winding us up at matches at home!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
