I remember Mannix when he was 18 lining a pitch in Our Ladies when he played for Lifford for a game against Newtown.Newtown won 10-2,believe it or not.After that he went to the New Avenue and has never looked back.I would say he is up there withe all time greats of Clare football.He was never beaten till the final whistle blew.Whether you were better than him or not he still made your life a misery and was well able to play also.
I know this is unfair to bring up but to this day I will never forget the FAI Junior Cup Final in Dalymount when he was playing against the Irish international outside left at the time.Someone lost the ball in midfield and Mannix left his winger to go inside,the ball was played out to the winger and he scored the first Cherry Orchard goal unmarked.Avenue were on top up to then but eventually lost 0-2.
This was the one and only time I saw anyone get the better of him!!
A TRUE LEGEND!!!
you mean you don't know them....Go on then,name a few...cant wait for this!
1-2 still playing ... so i better not mention names..
maybee shelbourne will give his view on his newtown greats & not so greats
sorry shels the first goal avenue gave away that day was a penalty. skinny casey jumped into forward who was taking it down on his chest. shielded it and went down. second goal was a mannix mistake where he let it bounce under his foot as he tried to clear it. winger stole in and even though jp got to it it trickled in.
still a legend though.
The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.

That would be giving too much information away.
Only Avenue legends - John O' Connor and Colm "Blackie" Mounsey and Brian Donnellan became a legend after he wore the red and white.

tommy.... clifford only asked a simple question
we are talking about a player (mannix) who gave 110% to clare league soccer.. ok i know mannix had his faults as a player obviously beter players on the ball out there ..
but everything else was there heart / passion / attitude , etc
how many times did you see him play / play against him...
this is only our opioion of people invlolved in clare league ... very easy to slag us off ... we are all not superstars from the great limerick league ..
all the big clubs in limerick hate each other the rest are just jealous of what pike have i.e decent clubhouse and 1 of the best junior pitches in the country....i know but it is the best league to play in (only joking)
must have been inside in limerick ,, are u still playing
see some of the threads under limerick priemer .. all the other clubs still hate pike rovers is it really that bad
haha sticks and stones. don't mind that but n. f. l ????? is that nationa football league as in gaelic???? come on tommy get it together.

agree with those throw in skinny. i had a suspicion you were a red and white. in fact if you are who i think you are you have legendry status in my eyes already. the best player i've marked (tried to mark)
i take it your a good golfer as well? r am i barking up the wrong tree.
(keep it clean tommy)
