Played for my team Waterford Utd for about 3-4 years before joining Kilkenny.
He's Scottish and I think we signed him from Livingston (not sure though)
Only ever scored about 3 or 4 league goals for us altogether. Once scored a cracker in a 1-0 away win v Bohs about 5 years ago which I heard would've been goal of the season but there were no TV cameras present. Scored his only other goal that season in a 2-1 home defeat to Derry. Actually I think they were his only goals in the eircom Premier. He may have scored about 2 for us in the 1st division, in an end of season meaningless game against Home Farm IIRC.
He had a bit of a cult following at WUFC but for the wrong reasons. Loadsa jokes about how he was keeping the groundsmen busy with the way he spent whole games warming up, tearing up and down the touchline, but only ever coming on for maybe the last 10 minutes if at all. Always got the crowd excited with his running, but mostly he was running like a headless chicken. If he was good enough, he'd still be with us (or he wouldn't have gone to Kilkenny anyway). Maybe if the Aussie league is less physical he might make an impact, he's fairly scrawny so never really made an impact in the eircom premier.
