    Not my first choice, but there's a lad playing for St. Pat's in Ireland. Mark Quigley had previously spent a brief period in England with Millwall during their better championship form / FA Cup final appearance. According to his club site, 33 Goals in 31 appearances, demonstrates some quality in finding the 'onion bag'.

    23 years of age?? Still developing?

    He's no giant at 5'10, probably in the mould of a Cureton type forward.

    Additionally, from 2009 St Pat's are scaling back to almost a semi-pro outfit - they have promised to release anyone within their squad on a free for the right contract terms offered, to help balance the books.

    He's playing at far too low a standard

    Their league is probably conference standard

    As was Nicky hunt - last year

    And his brother steven before him.

    One to consider, from Reading, hardly gets a look in but a goal scorer.

    Shane Long!
