    Diane Hennegen - former Rose of Tralee used to go when her boyfriend was playing for us - Gordon Cowper. She was famous then.

    JP McManus - allegedly
    Noel and Mike Hogan of the Cranberries used to frequent Rathbane for a few seasons not so long ago....

    Isnt tiernan, the unfunniest comic around, from navan???

    Charlie O'Connor TD is a Rovers fan as is Maureen O'Hara. Dermot Morgan RIP was a Hoop too.

    Ken Doherty's first Rovers game was against Fram in the UEFA Cup in 1982.

    He made a big deal about parading the World Championship trophy around Old Trafford and Celtic Park. If he's such a big Shamrock fan why didn't he carry the trophy around your home gr- ohhhh...... never mind...

    Kerr worked in UCD as a lab technician, but he's definitely a Pat's man.

    Dave Fanning is a UCD fan. Jimmy Magee is often at games too. He said Belfield is his favourite ground.

    - I'd love to believe that Nadine Coyle is a fan of the club
    I doubt you'll see her at the Brandywell any time soon, haven't you recently signed her ex-boyfriend?

    Tiernan is definately the funniest comic around.

    He was originally from Navan but went to school in Garbaly (sp.) in Ballinasloe. Hector (cant spell 2nd name!!) went there aswell and now they're good friends.

    I saw Morgan on numerous occasions at the RDS. He went to Belfield cos of his fear of crowds!

    Thats was just the song. He used to go to loads of games involving all clubs, but there's not doubting he was a UCD fan

    Tom Humphries is fond of the odd mention of his Bohsness. I've never seen him at a match.
    There is a theory that he has been staying away from Dalymount, and indulging in an orgy of GAA, as part of an extremely subtle and sophisticated Farrelly Out protest.

    Think he went there for his leaving cert (Tiernan) because he did so badly in his inter/got thrown out of St. Pats in Navan depending on which story is correct. At any rate he's great.


    Pat Ingoldsby used to go to Dalymount I believe. Mary Lou McDonald was at a few games coming up to the Euro elections but I haven't seen her since (or before for that matter). Yer man that does the weather on TV3 calls himself a Bohs fan but I've never seen him at Dalyer, though having said that I probably wouldn't recognise him in a crowd.
    John Brutal was at some of our Euro games in the double year wearing a Bohs scarf.
    Chris Kamara is a proud bohs fan too!

    The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!

    All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.

    Famous Bray Heads......

    RTE Radio host Des Cahill, TD Liz McManus, TV3 Sports Presenter Dave Kelly, Phil Coulter can also be seen at a lot of our matches. Damien Duff as someone mentioned earlier.

    Also any time Paul McShane, Darren Randolph, James and Kevin O'Connor, Clive Clarke, Barry Roche, Graham Ward and Paul Heffernan are back from from England they can be seen down in the Carlisle.

    Shelbourne's very own Jason Byrne is also a very big bray supporter and is down there when ever he gets a chance.

    Martin King. Definately seen him at a few games for the Bohs although not too many recently. Surprise, surprise. I've not seen to many people (full stop) at Dalyer recently!
