THERE WERE CONFLICTING reports this morning as to the future of former Ireland international Damien Duff.
However, many in the game expect him to sign for Shamrock Rovers in the coming days having previously expressed a desire to see out his career in the League of Ireland.
The news did get us thinking about some other high-profile players who’ve spent time in the League of Ireland and we thought we’d test your knowledge on the same.
Good luck!
