Dunne: 'I want to play for Rovers'
Ireland international Richard Dunne has signaled his desire to sign for Shamrock Rovers once his Premiership playing career is over.
Tallaght-born Dunne told the current edition of Hot Press magazine that several current Ireland internationals have expressed interest in joining the eircom League of Ireland. The centre-back, who will win his 34th Ireland cap this Saturday, has also backed Rovers' attempts to relocate to Tallaght.
Dunne is currently considered to be an integral part of the Manchester City defence in the English Premier League. However, he told Hot Press that he sees himself one day lining out for Rovers in the Tallaght Stadium.
"I'd definitely consider ending my career at Rovers", said Dunne. "Getting players to come back is definitely something the FAI should look at because it might add 200 or 300 to attendances and start helping the clubs out a bit more. I know from talking to them that a lot of our English-based players would be up for it."
Dunne comes from a family steeped in the League of Ireland. His father played for Rovers in the '50s, while several uncles also played in the league. Dunne is a cousin of Tony Cousins, who last season was appointed manager of Galway United.
He has expressed his frustration that Rovers have been unable to move into their planned new home in Tallaght due to legal objections from local GAA clubs.
"I've been looking at it [the unfinished stadium] for the last five years", he said. "I hope they get it finished because potentially it's such a great thing for the area."
Dunne's international team mate Paul McShane also backs the current rejuvenation of the eircom League of Ireland. McShane told Hot Press of his belief that it is hugely beneficial for some players to gain experience in the eircom League of Ireland before moving to England.
"That option existing is brilliant because not everybody has a club coming in for them when they're at school or wants to leave home at that age", he said. "Reading getting Kevin Doyle for £80,000 has to be one of all-time great bargains, and one they've repeated with Shane Long, who is going to be immense for them next season. I don't know what Wolves paid to get Stephen Ward from Bohs, but that's looking like money well spent too".
McShane also believes that ex-Bohs man Ward has what it takes to break into Steven Staunton's squad.
Fantastic stuff.
