THE RURAL IRISH FOOTBALL CLUB WITH LEGENDARY LINKS - Sligo Rovers FC

I took a trip to Sligo Rovers to investigate the football club and stadium.
What I found was that this small, rural club had links to legends from Celtic & Everton. Sean Fallon, Seamus Coleman and Dixie Dean have all played in Sligo!!!

Shout out to another Sligo Rovers legend Joseph N'Do played for Cameroon in the 1998 and 2002 world cups

Forza Rovers🤝 Sligo and Notts County(my local club) also have a link due to management and ex players. Brilliant Town, and Brilliant Club. Wish them all the best.

That world map of players will need an update - Sligo currently have 2 New Zealand Internationals playing for them - Max Mata and Nando Pijnaker. Nando actually played in NZ's World Cup playoff match against Cost Rica a few weeks ago.

Sligo and Celtic go hand in hand our history to Ireland goes all the way back to this beautiful part of Ireland and people in Glasgow don't forget 🇮🇪👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Mind you Ireland is a rural country, so Sligo is actually a big town (and some Sligo folk would argue it's a small city) so the bit'o'red isn't even that rural a club for us haha

Seamus Coleman ...he cost 60 grand !

[@troberts235]

Good luck to Sligo against Motherwell!!! Sligo are definitely going to be more battle-hardened and probably fitter than their Scottish opponents who are in pre-season so have a big advantage here to Sligo Rovers. Personally I won't be surprised to see Sligo progressing on to the next round.

I'm a Toffee and I had no idea our greatest player played in the Emerald Isle.

Bit unlucky, you didn't reach two pubs which are close to The Showgrounds. One just few steps away from stadium, and second maybe 200 meters away. As for decades they were hosting both Rovers and visitors fans, they are strongly linked to club and you could possibly hear some interesting stories about the club. I'm bit disappointed you didn't mention incredible Rovers fans. Whenever Sligo played cups finals in previous decade, they were supported by 12 up to 17 thousands fans travelling to Dublin. 12 to 17 K while town has around 17-20 K citizens:) As a East European living in Sligo for around 15 years I was always shocked when I heard about those figures. I was lucky to attend 2014 FAI Cup final against Drogheda, and from over 700 live football games which in my life I've seen live, that was match which I will remember as the best which I witnessed.

As a Everton fan I’ve always wanted us to play Sligo away would be a great away trip

[@FTGouldey]

Great video Sam.🔴⚪ With me being younger I think seamie would be my favorite out of the two. Great to see how good career played out after he left rovers.

[@judeclancy1952]

Been waiting on this. My old home town. Re: Coleman - i think rovers had a sell on clause but of course he wasnt (to date). But i think they still settled with Everton for any potential sell on at a later date when they ran into money troubles.

[@johnfarren7985]

Welcome to Sligo Sam. Great to see you visiting our club. Fantastic videos, very enjoyable and interesting. Definitely one of the best football vlogs I have ever watched.

Nice comment regarding the rain in the West. It is soft and gentle (but not always!).
