saw him a few times thought he looked good, was he at boahs before he signed with wolves?

Always thought he had the look of a player who could play at a higher level.

**Charlie Darwin** · 09/06/2014, 2:16 PM

Don't think he was ever at Bohs or any other LOI club.

That's a new one on me, didn't you know it's "Bo-ez"?

He's an elegant player alright.

Ya i suppose phonetically wasnt correct but thats how we country folk would spell it with that "Dublin" pronounciation.

**SkStu** · 10/06/2014, 12:50 AM

No, he was never at Bohs. Paul Keegan of Doncaster was, maybe you're thinking of him?

Delighted for Gleeson though, great move for him. And well deserved by all accounts.

Could have been thinking of Shaun Williams. He was with MK Dons until January, he played LOI football with Drogheda United, and Sporting Fingal and had loans with Dundalk and Finn Harps (loan), before moving across the water

Was there a gleeson lad who played u21s that was with longford or something some years ago? You can't second guess me cos im completely confused now, its not keegan, and its not williams cos whoever i was thinking of with bohs was a good few years ago.

But either way the few times i saw gleeson for mk dons i was impressed.

**tetsujin1979** · 10/06/2014, 10:56 AM

the only players named Gleeson on fai.ie are Stephen Gleeson, Jessica Gleeson and Siobhan Gleeson

At a guess I'd say it's Gary Deegan you're thinking of, former Longford, Galway and Bohs player recently released by Northampton.

It's one of those questions which just has people stumped,
trying to recall a player who once looked good playing for Bohs.

Are you thinking of Alan Sheehan? I think he's from Athlone.

**Charlie Darwin** · 10/06/2014, 10:15 PM

Johnser Keane had a stint at Bohs some years back, is that who you're thinking of?

That's not fair. Dermot O'Neill's defence made him look good.

Scored with a deflected shot from outside the box against Derby last night. Keogh and Christie in the Derby team. I didn't see the game but good to see him getting established at this level. It didn't do Keith Andrews or Keith Fahey any harm rising through the ranks slowly.

**DeLorean** · 22/08/2015, 9:31 AM

I saw most of it. Gleeson was busy but it was mostly backs to the walls stuff for Birmingham as Derby controlled most of the possession. That said, Birmingham gave them trouble with their direct play at times and it actually made for a brilliant match, possibly the best Championship game I've seen in ages. Derby were silky and skillful, Christie and Keogh were both decent but particularly Keogh, who was very aggressive and assured. His partnership with Shackell could be the making of him, definitely a decent step up from Buxton, Shotton, Albentosa, etc. Doesn't really look good for Alex Pearce though unfortunately. Birmingham's best spell was the fifteen minutes before half time when Gleeson came into the game as well. The goal was really fortunate, actually a crazy distance to shoot from in all honesty! Derby, literally, can't buy a win.

**tetsujin1979** · 22/08/2015, 9:40 AM

Gleeson's first goal for MK Dons was from a similar distance

**DeLorean** · 22/08/2015, 10:20 AM

Jesus... What a goal!

**tricky_colour** · 13/09/2015, 4:33 AM

Is he worth call up for the German game when we are without Whelan?

He plays a similar position I think, defensive midfielder, he has 2 goals and 2 motm this season so he is in fine form.

I can see him sticking one or two like the one above past the Krauts
