Five of the Greatest Lincoln City Irish Imports

Ireland, both the League of Ireland and the NIFL, has provided an interesting hunting ground for the Imps over the last few seasons.

We’ve dipped our toe in the water with a series of captures, from Oisin Gallagher, technically bridging both countries, to Dylan Duffy. We’ve looked at trialists, and if reports are to be believed, we’re about to spend a big fee on a player from Shamrock Rovers, Josh Honohan.

It got me thinking about transfers from Ireland and Northern Ireland, and whether we generally did well or not. Rather than try to second-guess, I thought I’d produce an article on the top five captures from across the Irish Sea.

I found out, picking five was much harder than it looked. We’ve signed some fine players from Ireland, and when I tell you that Danny Mandroiu, a man with 22 League One goal involvements for us, doesn’t make the list, I’m sure your interest will be piqued.
