How many Players have Transfered between EL clubs for a Fee?

**Tenderloins** · 05/12/2006, 10:47 AM

In relation to the threads around about EL clubs being ripped off/transfers etc...
Just wondering what players have tranfered between EL clubs for a fee?
Have EL clubs ever bought players abroad?
Jason Byrne and Eamon Zayed spring to mind. There must be many more....

Longford bought Robbie Martin off UCD for about �10k last season.

Alan Cawley from UCD to Shels, Pat Sullivan from UCD to Drogheda

As far as I know, Longford paid a fee for 3 players from Drogheda Danny O Connor, Gary Cronin and Steven Gough...buy in bulk and now get rid in bulk

I think Derry paid Cork about �10k for Stephen O'Flynn.

Nearly all clubs would have bought players for transfer fees over the years. Obviously it isn't as common now as clubs just can't afford it.

Our best fees ever - a 19 year old Brendan Bradley from Derry City for �100 (1969) and Johnny Speak from Ballymena United for �2000 (1994).

I think our selling Steve Williams to Shels in 99 was a record for a keeper, 30k punt i seem to recall

That is correct.

Should the question not be restated as "how many players have been transferred between EL clubs for a fee that went through the books"?

The only Bohs ones I cant think of in recent years are:

(open to correction on figures)

Trevor Molloy from St. Pat's, �30,000 + Jamie Harris 2000
Fergal Harkin from finn Harps, �8,000
Tony Grant from Rovers, �15,000
Mark O'Brien from Rovers, �15,000
We may have also paid a fee for Bobby Ryan off Galway.

We sold Tony Grant to Drogs for �15,000 + Mark Leech (cheque bounced twice and had to be taken out of Drogs Uefa Cup Gate Receipts
