    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.

    Paul McGinley's a Hoop to as is, ahem, George Murphy. Colin Farrell, despite gypo moaning, is a member of Hoops SC and a fully signed up Ultra (he has a scarf )

    And Dermot Morgan was a regular Hoop long before UCD were even a glint in the League's eye. Then there's the usual suspects - Maureen O'Hara, Colm Meaney and of course Rats from Paths to Freedom.

    Anyway Rovers fans in general are famous.
    Or should that be INFAMOUS?

    That's as maybe but Jimmy is a nailed on Hoop and speaking of RTÉ's sports department - Con Murphy, Stephen Alkin and the legendary Phillip Green (and White) are all Hoops too.

    I love the liberal use of "he's a big fan" for people who have attended one or two games.

    Man Utd's John O'Shea attends Blues games occasionally (although he's more into the hurling). He was also one of a 300 strong Blues contingent in the Des Kelly stand for the crucial relegation-decider in Dalyer last November.

    Several of the Waterford hurlers go to some of our home games - Dan Shanahan, John Mullane. Paul Flynn used to play for us.

    Another hoop to appear in a Bohs audio visual production then eh?
    I also thought Dave Fanning was a Rovers fan. I heard him waxing lyrical about boyhood trips to Milltown one night on the wireless. Maybe he hasn't been since then and switched his allegiance to UCD, his brother works there anyway.

    Fanning is a UCD fan, he's always going on about us on the radio. He was slagging some Rovers fan on Monday or Tuesday. He's regularly at games in Belfield too.

    That young fella that writes for The Tribune used to go to quite a few Rovers matches. He's obviously found something better to do with his time since...

    Alkins is a Pats man. 100% on this. his brother goes to every game. Magee doesn't follow anybody but has said he has a soft spot for Pats because of his son playing for us (said it at some after dinner thing I was at a few years ago (not football releted). Agree Green was a legend

    Isn't Fiona Looney of the Gerry Ryan show a big Rovers fat. Remember her mentioning it on many occasions.

    Jimmy would appear in a Leni Riefenstahl film if he thought it'd get him on the telly and appearing in a Bohs production is on a par with the Nazis.
