If I was stuck on a desert island with Kenny Cunningham and a breakfast roll, I'd eat Kenny Cunningham and talk to the breakfast roll. #ENGIRL

Back in the early 80s a couple from Sligo went to Liverpool for 5 days. One of the nights they saw a sign for magical mystery tour leaving at 8am back at 10pm. Sounded a bit of laugh so hopped in and headed off ,ended up getting ferry to Belfast and bus headed on to Bundoran.😂

At the 2015 Fleadh myself and another popular Sligo scamp asked Marty Morrissey for a picture in the garavogue. I proceeded to hand him my phone to take a picture of the two Sligo lads. We all had a good laugh . Marty gave me back the phone in 2020.

Very important Sligo Rovers get another stand/roof sorted within next season or so. People turning up at 7.15 to a full main stand and then having to head over to sit on wet seats. Can’t expect 4000+ attendances otherwise #GOTBOR
