Mike Channon had one very brief appearence in a Harps jersey in 1986.

He lasted 50mins in a 2-2 draw against Cobh in a League Cup game, before an old ankle injury got the better of him.

He returned to England a few days later.

he actually had a very bad car crash a few weeks back.

I vaguely remember Peter Barnes, Ex Manchester City, played a few games for Drogheda.

Just to put the Socrates one to bed, once and for all! ....

That was in the Dundalk programme against us, yeah?

A UCD fan was the one who contacted Bellos about it in the first place; he was doing an article for our programme. If that didn't put it to bed, I don't think the same article in the Dundalk programme will, unfortunately. I even contacted Garforth Town when Socrates was with them, and they suggested I ask Bellos...

For a while, Socrates' wiki says he played for UCD, but UCD's wiki says he didn't. I think that sums up wikipedia in a nutshell.
