Here's some big names who played in the LOI

**hamish** · 19/03/2006, 8:27 PM

Denis Tuert - Derry City
Trevor Hockey (ex-Newcastle United) - Athlone Town
I saw Trevor's one and omly game with Town. He was near the end of his career and, during the game, made a run from the box to near the opposition's box to slide into the dirtiest tsckle I've ever seen, whacking the legs from under the opposing player on the ball - ouch. Can't remember the opposition that day, Think he went to the US or Australia after that.
Sadly, Trevor died a number of years ago.

Leeds United's record goalscorer Peter Lorimer played for UCD, as did Kevin Moran (though before we were in the league).

In a less glamorous link, Ryan Tubridy's grandfather (CS Andrews) also played for us, as did Brian Lenihan and...Ollie Byrne...

Bobby Charlton was signed for Waterford by another Man Utd European Cup winner SHAY BRENNAN who was Player/Manager at the time (managed two of the Blues League title wins). Another of their 1968 team-mates - DAVID HERD also played with the Blues in 1970.

CON MARTIN played for Waterford in the 1950s after a successful career with Aston Villa. He played for both Ireland (30 times) and Norhtern Ireland (6) and was also part of the Ireland team which inflicted England's first defeat on home soil at Goodison Park in 1949.

Another possibility for Waterford might be EDDIE McILVENNEY who played with and captained the club for several years. Though Scottish born he captained the USA team which famously defeated England 1-0 at the 1950 World Cup which was regarded as one of the biggest upsets in the history of football at the time.

BOBBY TAMBLING who played for Cork Celtic's League winning team in 1973 is still Chelsea's all-time aggregate League goalscorer.

TREVOR BROOKING turned out for Cork City a few times in the mid-80's.

Went on to play for some outfit offshore.

**Patrick Dunne** · 20/03/2006, 10:47 AM

Frank Worthington (Galway United)

**Strabane_Harp** · 20/03/2006, 10:50 AM

John Beresford ( Newcastle United and England Left back) spend a year at Finn Harps before making the big time

**harpskid** · 20/03/2006, 11:32 AM

Mark Kelly who was capped a handful of times for the Republic of Ireland in the early 1990s played for Harps in 2000/01.

**harpskid** · 20/03/2006, 11:33 AM

Paul Simpson, of Carlisle fame, was also on Harps books for a spell in the 80s.

**dancinpants** · 20/03/2006, 6:03 PM

I could have swore that Terry Venables played for some LOI team and maybe even Jimmy Greaves. Can't find evidence any where, so I'm probably wrong.

**Schumi** · 20/03/2006, 6:11 PM

Did Venebles play for Pats? I might be mixing him up with someone else though.

**robbieos88** · 20/03/2006, 6:37 PM

Venables played one game for pats

Urban legend, apparently. The UCD programme researched this a couple of years ago - one of the lads actually got in touch with Socrates through a website - and Socrates said he'd never been in Ireland.
