3. Ian Hennessy - How could you forget?!!! Stunned 10,000 drunken Derry fans by scoring a late winner in the FAI Cup QF at the lodge in 1987(?)

4. Jim Mulcahy - Goalkeeper from Corosshaven, a regular the first few seasons.

5. Jimmy Nodwell - midfielder of the same era. Also played with Limerick

6. Mike Mellon - englishman played in the league decider v Dundalk. Played for years afterwards in England, Tranmere mostly I think.

7.Also scottish guy came over with Mellon, can't think of his name.

8. Mick O'Keeffe - hard as nails centre half. Sent off late in Cup QF with Derry for getting stuck in Derry fans or officials or someone

7. That chap was called Gallagher - Brian I think and he was a good player too.

8. Still one of the great comic moments as he chased the sheepskin coat up the ramp at the Lodge, landed a few digs, and trotted back to accept his red card!

Anychance of posting that list James.

Also, I wonder does anyone have a list of all City's managers and dates of their tenure? I often wondered if you compared tham all on a win, draw, lose league system who would be the best manager (statistically!). Can anyone start us off?

Fair dues Fair_play_boy, that's good to know. I didn't know there was a thread on this before ... sorry about that.

I wonder would Gerry Desmond (the statistical Yoda that he is) have a list of played, won, drew, lost information for each manager. I think it would be interesting. Is anyone in contact with him?

I'm the same though, i'd love to be able to get all that info. There is a thread in the main forum about books on eL and Irish footie, and there is not alot there when you think of it .... would be great to be able to get to it all.

Was right down at the front that day and when Ian Hennessey scored the winner for City the sheepskin guy, who was a Derry official, took offence at the celebrations and spat at the nearest City player. Unfortunately for Mr Sheepskin it was Slap

The rest as they say is history!

Mickey Mellon didn't play in the league decider against Dundalk in April 1991. He joined in October/November 91 along with Declan Roche. Both joined on short term loans. I think Mellon came from Blackpool. Mellon got a great goal into the Shed end in a 4-1 win over Dundalk? At the end of the loan period Mellon went back to England and Roche moved to Shels although he did rejoin City the following season. Mellon played for Tranmere for several seasons and was team captain there as well.
The 2 English playerws that played against Dundalk in the league decider were Armstrong and Gallagher.

I know! I'm a lazy sod too ... I expect someone else to do all the work.

But, like A Face said I'd really like to know. I now Gerry Desmond did statistical "annuals" way back on the League Of Ireland and Irish soccer in general, which I thought were really interesting (You can see them in the City Library reference section, but I think you have to ask them as they are in storage). So I was hoping that maybe he had some stats on the managers buried away somewhere.

The only problem with Gerry is hes normally up the walls, he'd help you no worries if he can alright, but you'd have to ask nicely

True! I suppose I should really get off my arse and do it myself and not trouble the man. I might get round to doing a bit of research into it in the summer.
