My only regret is not putting a few quid on him to play for Ireland at senior level the first day I saw him playing for Rovers.
Fair play to him. He is doing incredibly well.

Doubt those GAA roasters have ever heard of him...even Ken Early seems to have little interest in the LOI.

**paul_oshea** · 07/12/2009, 6:38 PM

shouldn't this be moved to the ireland section

**paul_oshea** · 07/12/2009, 6:46 PM

Seriously though just going on the link above a friend from killybegs told me only 3 years ago he was still playing junior soccer, is that true? Said he was some player at gaelic as well, that uncle dessie did a bit of talking to him.

He was hoping to excel at the old GAA and was on course to make the Donegal senior team until Rovers showed up... and the rest is history in the making...

thats all the cooler and better when ye think of it. Thats what i was told alright by a lad who knows him. From nothingness to this in 3 years.

**CF1989** · 07/12/2009, 7:15 PM

he played against us in a pre season friendly in 2005/2006 for st.catherines

Hello Niko!!!

**Shedzer** · 07/12/2009, 11:54 PM

Id like to give a few people a mention, those who aided Seamies career.

Sean Connor, you are a tw4t, but il hand you this..you gave him a chance.

Keith Foy, thanks for giving him the start he needed, if it wasnt for your fat arse with a lack of genuine pace at left back, he probably wouldnt have looked so impressive in that friendly (Rovers v St. Catherines)

Steve Manson, you are even sh1tter than we thought, surely with him overlapping you could do one thing right in your career at Rovers, surely just one? You made him twice the player Steve because he did his own job as a right full and yours at right win, you made him an attacking fullback...

**CF1989** · 08/12/2009, 12:35 AM

To be fair Manson played most his football on the left.

listening to the 606 podcast from yesterday now and only one real mention of seamie. gabriel marcoti talking about him aswell

Seamus Coleman finds himself at Everton's coalface

Full page in today's Sun with Sean Connor telling everyone how he discovered Seamus and effectively started his career and how he always knew he would go all the way.

The article also gives the impression that Seamus played a full season for Connor including the Cup semi-final against Derry City - is that correct?

Also says that Connor is high onthe list for the Cork job as well as being in for the St. Pat's job.

I think Connor was gone when Coleman made his first team debut verus Shels at the end of the 2006 season. Think Seamie scored an og in that game as well.
