    Think it would be 10 TonyD.
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    2011 with Rovers 2013 with Pats 2014 15 16 18 and 19 with Dundalk 21 22 23 with rovers so if shels win it would be 10 wins in 14 years....incredible. although he has said himself he doesn't really count the 2011 rovers one as he barely played at all

    And I’d forgotten about 2011 with Rovers. Unbelievable record. Has anyone else come close to that ?
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    2017 is a bit jarring when you see it listed like the above, 6 in a row if it wasnt for a Dundalk reject proving a point. Id love to actually see Gannon's senior medal haul, there are more celebrated players that have come nowhere near his total. Some luck at being at the right club at the right time, some good judgement undoubtedly too.

    It’s absolutely mad to look at written down. In his career he’s been part of squads that have won the following:

    10x LOI Premier Division
    2x FAI Cup
    3x League Cup
    4x Presidents Cup
    2x Leinster Senior Cup
    1x Champions Cup

    Qualification wise he’s also the only player to have featured in European group stages 4 times
    3x Europa League groups
    1x Conference League groups

    On a personal level he’s also been voted by his fellow players into the PFAI team of the year 6 times between 2014-2019

    Worth mentioning Gannon has also been quietly excellent so far this season, at least from what I've seen. Hasn't lost a step as much as his time at Rovers might have suggested. Evidently just more suited to playing as a conventional right back than as part of a 3/5.

    Dundalk nearly ruined him when Filipo played him as a wing back and he sturggled badley. In a back 4 he cover more ground and is as effective as a wing back.

    I was very glad to see Daly setting Dundalk up 442, It suits the players we have better.

    He never really worked as a wingback at Rovers and struggled to make the starting 3 centrebacks as he never looked as comfortable on the ball but he was a decent squad player for us that deserved his medals playing out of position in a system that didnt suit him. Glad things are going well for him at Shels but hope a runners up medal will be all he gets this year

    I have forgotten the players name but Im pretty sure in last 20 years some other loi player came close to that total. Name escapes me probably someone else from Shamrock Rovers in the 80s perhaps that was with Dundalk?
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    The 80's was forty years ago! Possibly Ronan Finn?

    Yeah I think I recall years ago hearing that Heary was the most successful LOI player when he retired. Both he and Finn now have 7 premier division medals each

    If he were to win this year - which is a long way off yet - then he must have close to a world record?

    11 league titles with four clubs is impressive enough but not unique (Ibrahimovic has 12 titles with five clubs for example), but to do it all in the same league is impressive given how money is increasingly making leagues less competitive

    Giggs won 13 in England. I’m sure there’s other clubs who are always winning their league that have players there for a lot of them. Muller seems like he’s been at Bayern forever.

    Yes, Roar Strand won 16 titles with Rosenberg, which I believe is the world record.

    But I'd be amazed if anyone else had reached double figures across four clubs in the same country, which was Stu's point
