is extratime's Chief Editor, who is based in County Galway and has been following the League of Ireland on and off since he was roughly six which, unfortunately for him, was way back mid-80s. His first memory of the drama of domestic football was Vinny Arkins, then of Shamrock Rovers, on the receiving end of banter about his long, blond hairdo which was in need of a trim, while his favourite player of all time is Derry City's Liam Coyle.
