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

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

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 🇮🇪👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Everton and Celtic and Irish supporter 🍀💙🇮🇪 nice to see you touring my country

My grandfather jimmy duncan played for kilmarnock, glentoran and sligo rovers he won sligos first league title 1936/37, my son and i were invited over in 2016 to present the club with his league winners medal at half time on the pitch v longford town, the hospitality was amazing... Thank you

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.

Wow!!!Extremely so fantastic and Sligo Rovers are one of my favourite respective footballing clubs daily and ever in this world and other planets,good friends!!!LONG LIVE,SLIGO ROVERS!!!🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️

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.

Never thought I’d see big football vloggers covering my local club great video Sam

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.

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. C'mon Rovers!

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

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.

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.

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!).

Also Glad u visited Linfield Sam, and of course u filmed both Nottingham based clubs, love that. Keep up the Content and hope u enjoyed Ireland, both republican and Northern.

I've liked this video already and haven't watched a second of it yet. I know it's going to be good! Up the Rovers!

I have met shamus coleman 2 times My dad knows his brother really well Coleman what a gentleman

nice work brother love watching the small stadiums and your travels cheers from Tasmania Australia

Best vlogger around hands down

I bet Dixie Dean didnt pay €5:20 for Guiness when he stayed at that hotel ?!! 🤤

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

If you visit county cork you should visit Crosshaven just south of Cork City as Bobby Tambling has been living there since the 1973/74 (when he moved to Cork to play for Cork Celtic) and has managed their local team Crosshaven FC until the mid 2000s C: a lot of legends played in the old Cork Celtic/Cork Alberts team including Geoff Hurst and Ian Callaghan! C:

Need to head to Dublin and visit dalymount park it’s the oldest footballing ground in the country and use to be where the national team played and players such as pele, Zidane and the Charltons and Bob Marley had his last every outdoor gig in the ground

Great club. My Granda used to play for them in the early 60s

Great video! The 'United Nations' wall looks like it be missing Pascal Millien, Haiti international who was part of 2012 league win, used to do backflips after scoring

Just discovered your channel. Its brilliant and so informative about great community clubs such as Sligo Rovers. Rovers on making the next round in Europe too!

Will you be down to cork on friday. City are playing Galway should be packed enough. You could also go see corks old football ground which is now a gaa stadium..pairc u rinn formerly known as flower lodge. George best actually played there

Class channel and fantastic reserch

Who do they hold dearest? It might be Sean Fallon. His Dad was also Mayor of Sligo. After all, Coleman is a Donegal man and Dean an Englishman. "The Iron Man" is THE MAN!

Great video as always! You should have visited Waterford FC as Bobby Charlton used to play for them!!!

Hi Sam, I'm a big Rangers and Everton fan from Down Under - loving your Ireland / Nth Ireland videos. I knew the whole Irish system was a little different but your education of whos who in what league has helped solve some riddles. My vote would go to Seamus in your poll :)

Well done, nice review of a great little club.

Staying in that hotel on Thursday for the match on Thursday

Just after watching this vid after a famous night in the Showgrounds, the game went to penalties and we won 4-3 . Come on the Bit O Red ♥️ , looking forward to the Motherwell game, bring it on , 😁😁

Really enjoyed the insight into Sligo Rovers and all the clubs you covered, did you enjoy your stay in Ireland?

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

Cracking vidoe , up the celts 💚🍀🇮🇪

For someone who loves football grounds, this is great content! Keep up the hard work.

If Sligo get through I’ll have to get down for the Motherwell game

RKO EVERTON 👏🏻

That hotel there at the end, I recognize it from the Peter Bergmann case. Check it out here on youtube. It's an unsolved mystery ... There's footage of this guy coming out of the Sligo City Hotel..

Sligo Rovers thank you for Aidan Keena. ❤ #CheltenhamTown

Decent looking Pint at the end there, solid 7 out of 10 I'd say!!

I am currently following Sligo Rovers, now the funny part of this, is that i am a huge Liverpool fan. 😅 But i respect Everton, even that we're rivals!

Séamus Coleman is a way bigger icon for Rovers in my opinion Dixie Dean came to Sligo when he was winding down his career

Terrific

Everton actually established an offical partnership with Sligo Rovers in the last 1 or 2 years, which is great considering the links between both clubs and how it can help Sligo develop with players loaned from Everton

Raff creataro one of the best Sligo players. Local player from tobercurry. Ndo probably our best player

Sam when Dixie Dean was scoring his Goals for Everton there was a unknown Scotsman on the wing by the name of Eck Troup played majority of his games in Scotland for Forfar Athletic and Dundee when he was at Everton he also ran a gentleman's outfitters in his home town of Forfar

Looks like they will be playing "Well" next round as winning 2-1 against Bala the second leg on Thurs.

representing the well mon eh well siwy

Just booked a trip to Sligo :)

Seamus Coleman will always be remembered after that goal v Swansea 😉

Their building a new stadium. You can see what it looks like on their channel

“The Rovers 👏!..👏!..👏!”

⚠️ Loved the second Motherwell fan's badge on his jacket .. Donegal (Dun na ngall) coat of arms

Still good link - a group of Evertonians cycled from Sligo to Liverpool in 2017 to raise £60,000 for a homeless shelter.

Up the Irish toffees

managing sligo in fm24 just wanted to see what there ground was like 2027 champions!

Motherwell was decent prep. for the tie against Viking.

Rains more in Ireland that anywhere least u got a good Guinness mate

My local club ❤❤

Seamie ❤

You should visit Terryland Park the home of Galway United.

Imagine the best RU-vidr commenting on your latest video

You should go to Galway united or cork city next

Seamus Coleman ...he cost 60 grand !

That Guinness was expensive ☘😫

While you're in Ireland should do a video on the gaa🤔 not many outside of Ireland realise how amazing the sport is or understand why we love it

I support sligo rovers

Is there any plan to drop down to the south and visit cork, kerry waterford and more. Cork city fc and cobh ramblers 2 teams in cork

go to Finn park Ballybofey county Donegal

As a young man I was fortunate to be in a position to ask a question to the legendary player and manager Joe Mercer.. “of all the players you have played with, managed or seen, who was the greatest? Answer: “without doubt Dixie”

Remember Sligo Rovers are the REAL Rovers in Ireland, Shamrock are The SHAM Rovers !!

They beat Motherwell ass too

Dean is a God

Sam go to Cork City

Are you still in Sligo by any chance?

Wow they had Barbadians 🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧

Go to Finn harps

Visit Finn Harps

Hi sam how much is braga tour 😂❤

dixie dean use to kill rats as a kid at the docks in birkenhead

Good pint of Guinness?

5:04 Aged like milk

When are you leaving I would love to meet you

I love the overconfidence of the Motherwell fans . Typical of people outside the league . Their whole club took us for granted only 2 weeks training and 2 short friendlies? Where are they now ? 3-0 to the bit O’red

I want your job….

Just remember there was no off side in his day. He was a goal line hogger

Rural ,sligo tries to call itself a city 🤣
