Micky McCloskey Rossa goalkeeper at underage up to Minor/ under 21, Great keeper but Never really committed after Minor. Got Injured in a bit of a riot during a minor championship game and never really had his heart in it afterwards. Was the best keeper rossa produced in recent history just a pity he never really played senior.
To be honest, that isn't entirely true. I played in those same minor teams as Micky, and the match you're referring to was the Minor championship semi-final replay against Loughgiel, and Mick got hit in the head from some shithouse when the final whistle went, which turned into a full scale battle between our minor team that other lot and their dozens of idiot supporters who jumped the fence to get involved. Thing is though, that was our first year minor. He was still our keeper when we won the championship again the next season, and I played another full season in under 21 along with him.
A lot of us tend to fall away around that time due to work and other commitments. I could tell you what though - that match wasn't the reason why anyone lost the will to play anymore. In fact, it spurred us on so much that we beat all around us the following year.
Facts lads
