    Assumed he was older for some reason, maybe 27/28.

    I think Horgan's a better footballer than McClean. He's Duff-like, but with a cage fighter aura.

    Dundalk have never known such love for their team.

    You're not far off there Bonnie, I was always way taller than the rest.
    and now that i recall a faint memory, my first boyhood hero in the LOI happened to be Big Ben Hannigan.

    Who was he playing for at the time?

    It must have been his last season with Dundalk, I remember I was brought to a league game after Christmas at Tolka, v Shels. Ben had had been caught offside about 15 times and the slagging from the Shels fans just got more vociferous with each offside call, sure enough with 10 minutes to go, Ben trapped a high ball on his chest, swiveled 180 degrees and hit the winner on the turn into the corner, Ben just stood there on the spot, turned and gave the Shels fans his trademark raised armed salute. He was transferred to Rovers a few months later. I went along to his debut at Milltown, a B league game against Limerick (but with Kevin Fitzpatrick in goals). A few hundred of the Rovers' 'ultras' turned up also to welcome Ben and he scored all three goals. The 'ultras' packed in behind the goal were singing "Ben Hannigan" over and over. I didn't see Ben play after that, Rovers had a formidable group of forwards at that time with Eric Barber, Mick Leech, Mick Lawlor and Big Ben.

    Eric Barber's son was in my year in school. Classy player. No place for him in a rugby school.

    True.

    Stu, same school as Anthony Stokes I'm led to believe, though they speak more fondly of Ciaran Clarke, Conor O'Shea and Girvan Dempsey,

    That's the difference between a school and a college.

    Yep, I'll concede that. We also had Mike Murphy, Lorcan Crannitch and Bosco Hogan. Peter Lawrie the golfer and Jack Doyle the show jumper too. And me of course.

    Stu is older than I thought..

    Turned 39 just last week. I'm old. Equally offended and proud that you thought I was younger Stutts!

    I had you as either 39 or 40, similar age to CTP :P But maybe it was CTPs age I got wrong

    So the other ages should be easy enough figure out.

    Does anyone know what happened that Waterford supporter who used to post on here, a ringer for stephen hunt, blue(tilIdie?) something?

    But he never said what age you were, he thought you were at least 45..

    I don't remember the hardcore Rovers fans being called "Ultras" in those days and I should know as I used to stand behind the goal Rovers were attacking and then move up to the other end for the second half with the rest of the Rovers' support. Hard to imagine that now in most grounds. As I grew older I went under the shed in the middle but never sat in the stands in Milltown: that was for the oldies and the big knobs.

    Got talking to Mick Lawlor in a lift in Poland I think it was not so long ago. The years have been kind to him. Haven't seen Mick Leech since he used to score for fun for Rovers. The Gerd Muller of Irish football.
