Roy was one of the best players ever to play for City, only for Davie Barry and Patsy Freyne he could be best of all, 
I thought heād have had a long career in England, Enjoy.

Itās not a rhetorical question, I just dont know much about him aside form the last season and a half at the Mariners and was hoping for some background, thank you.

Heās still young enough Iād say is he. Its a long time since he is gone from city
I donāt recall that rumour but it was an enormous fee for a league of Ireland player at the time, add ons could have pushed it over a million.
He played great football in his later city days but I had moved to Limerick by then so didnāt see him that often.
yeah city had a grand team in the early mid 00ās
Georgie, Kevin Doyle, JOF, Gamble Danny Murphy, Bennet,
Roy OD came slightly after them and really came to prominence in 2006/2007
Keane did sign him for Sundireland as they were known at the time along with the likes ofTony Stokes and Hourihane
i havent heard the bit about the fee been inflated but it wouldnt suprise me because at this time Cork City was on their last legs before the high court winding up order, at the time their best players were going accross to reading, hartlepool and ipswich for nothing and it wouldnt suprise me if RK tried to do them a favor
w.r.t. his playing abilities, he was an excellent player in the LOI, after Sunderland he lost his way a bit but has clearly found his feet in Australia, didnt he score goal of the season maybe last year?

Roger Walkowiak, winner of the 1956 Tour de France has passed away.
Considered by many to be the worst or luckiest winner of the great race. Walkowiak was a last minute replacement for a regional team but joined an escape on the 7th stage and gained an 18 minute advantage and the yellow jersey. He lost the yellow jersey on the 10th stage but managed to keep himself well positioned as he was completely dismissed by the main protagonists. The 18th stage was the last of the mountain stages and the great Charly Gaul attacked and shattered the field. Walkowiak managed to trail in 8 minutes behind and it was enough to put him back in the yellow jersey which he held onto for the last 4 days to Paris.
He didnāt do much else in his career and retired in anonymity a couple of years later.

Shocked to hear that Paul McCarthy has died, R.I.P.
Terrible news. He used to say live and let live. Hope he gets his wings
You know he didnāt, you know he didnāt, you know he didnāt
