LIFELONG SLIGO ROVERS FAN IN SHOWGROUNDS VISIT
He moved from Garavogue Villas to Yorkshire back in the fifties but one thing John Gallagher took with him was his love for Sligo Rovers. He brought his daughters, Sandra and Linda, with him last week on their first visit to Sligo and the football fan visited the Showgrounds where he was given a surprise tour of the grounds. John said: “I couldn’t praise the staff there, in particular Frank. We were delighted to get a tour and see the Hall of Fame. Seamus Sharkey got in a pic. I’ve been a Rovers’ fan all my life and when I was playing with St Anne’s I remember Sean Fallon playing too. It was brilliant being in the Showgrounds and seeing the players,” he added.
