I used to watch him with UCD first team and U21's and have always held him in high regard. Great feet but not prolific. BTW where is he from? is it out coolock way?

No, southside somewhere. Went to school in Kilmacud.

Yeah a lot of what has been said here is pretty accurate

However there wasa time when he was a regular at drogs and practically every attack went through him - the ball would be played up to him from midfield or advanced defence and he would control it, take it in, lay it off, bring others into the game - and i dont think anyone will deny the fact that he is very good at this.

I read somewhere someone using the word "fulcrum" to descibe his role - and that was very accurate

He is better with his back to goal than he is any other way

One thing not mentioned by anyone on here is that to me, when he was at drogs and now pats, he has never looked happy on the field - i mean he seems to get very pi$$ed off with himself when something doesnt come off for him - as if he knows full well he can do better but that for some reason things and his career havent gone his way

Give him a kettle and I'm sure he'd make a smashing pot of tea.

And he will continue to miss the cup if he stays at Pats

Cheers.

Oh my God, is that fella still playing football, or trying to! The worst footballer I have ever seen in the LOI. Just goes to show the "quality" of football here if he made a living from it

Ridiculous comment! I really wonder about some people when you see crap like that.
Hes far from being the worst player to ever play in the LOI. And of course he is also far from being the best. I've seen him play some good stuff for Drogs and I've seen him play some cack as well. Thats the level the fella is at. Hes OK.

He was a fine footballer for rovers then got greedy and left for pastures new.

When he was with Athlone, it was better when he had his �rse on the bench

**CharlesThompson** · 28/01/2008, 1:44 PM

While he has some talent, I always considered him to be a dirty b@stard.
