Didn't we win the Fair Play award for Div 1 last season? I assume those lads don't count for our fair play. I don't think we've had one senior related suspension so far. Even Micko's been fairly tame.
A broken leg sustained during his stint at St. Mel's Park, did for Eamon's soccer career. Was a lot better going forward than defensively but a sound bloke off the park. Has a talent for sh1t stirring in his present capacity though

Well to bring people up to speed. Here were some contenders for the title UCD Hardcore champions in the past.
1979-1985;1989-1990 Martin Moran (during his career in defence he was a striker in our first season grabbing 9 League goals)
1980-1985 Ken O'Doherty centre-forward in his early career made the centre-back position his own and won the F.A.I. Cup scoring the winning goal in the replay. Moved to Crystal Palace in 1985 and was unable to establish a regular first team place although he did play numerous games filling in as a full-back or sometimes at centre-back. Had a very successful spell at Huddersfield Town under Eoin Hand. Played one season with Shelbourne on his return to Ireland in 1993 and retired as a result of a back injury in 1994.
Never got to fulfill his ambition of playing his final season of footie with US.
1983-1985 Robbie Lawlor ; tough tackling full back from East Wall
Member of our F.A.I. Cup winning side in 1984 played V Everton etc, second highest scorer in the League in 1984/85 with 5 League goals.
Having spent one memorable match kicking a Shamrock Rovers left winger up and down the park with aplomb was sent off for mouthing to the linesman with 2 minutes to go when we were winning 1-0. We won 1-0 in the end.
1985-1990 Paul Fitzgerald; tough tackling full back from East Wall
Played as a regular in our 1988/89 Promotion winning season. Injuries during the following season marred his last season with us. Played briefly with Monaghan United before leaving the LOI.
I saw 9 in 10 in one of the Stigs from that era recently. Think he got sent off soon thereafter too!Originally Posted by Schumi
You can't spell failure without FAI
