    I used to bump into Ming the Merciless at a lot of Sligo Rovers games before he left Castlerea for Galway. Since then I've heard he's been seen in Terryland a few times - terrible what getting into drugs can do to you.

    Even if the sea ceases to flow
    Even if the sun ceases to rise
    The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."

    That is what the row between the Harps and Derry fans - both were in denial

    She hasn't been seen at either ground since her need for votes diminished with her political career. Her daughter is some bit of stuff though

    The feeling's not mutual AFAIK.

    Ken Loach, director of The wind that shakes the barley and many other films is a Cork City fan as is Des Bishop.

    Isn't Ardal O'Hanlon a Shels fan?

    Why don't you ask Fintan or Finian yourself?

    Dermot Ahern is a Dundalk fan, though I wouldn't really call him a celebrity. Then of course there is Stan but I've only ever seen him at one Dundalk game.

    Charlie O'Connor TD (one of many celeb Hoops) has done great work in the Dail for us simply by asking questions.

    He asked a number of questions of the Minister for Finance, as to the equality where one eL club had their tax bill written off, while others were being pursued to pay up promptly.

    Pushing it a bit now but actor Adrian Dunbar is seemingly a Waterford fan. He was supposed to be getting his mate Neil Morrissey to put a few bob into the club a few years ago but AFAIK nothing came of it.

    Coulter was President - an Honorary post. Current President is John Hume.

    Out of curiousity Krstic - if he acepted the 'Legion d'Honour' from the French, would that make him any less an Irish man.......?

    No because even 800 years of eating Escargot would not be as bad as British Rule was

    In fairness, he's not "well known" outside of Sligo.

    Meanwhile here at Rovers, we have a well-known deceased religious luminary as a fully paid up member.

    I'll bet none of you can top that!
