Acclaimed centre-half/defensive midfielder. Didn't get much of a chance here (five games max.) and played for Swansea once or twice. Rumours circled about him having a bit of an attitude problem, however regardless of that he was a good technical defender and many feel he should have been given a better chance with us.

So I get back to work after a holiday and find this.

Not impressed. In my opinion, one of the most skillfull players at ASFC in the modern era. Perhaps a bit lightweight for this division, I wouldn't be surprised to see him at a higher level in the future (where there are fewer cloggers).

I am very concerned that two players have left the club with "homesickness" cited as a reason, only to pitch up no nearer home. Roscoe D'Sane is from South London, I think, probably no more than 60 miles nearer Torquay than it is Hyndburn and the last time I checked, Sligo was further from France than we are.

Both players did have one fairly obvious thing in common.

Hope I'm wrong, but it points to something very seriously wrong...

Rommy scored a penalty on his Sligo debut after coming on as a 60th minute sub: Sligo Rovers F.C. - Athlone and Rovers stalemate as Boco gets off mark

Ah bless him, well done Rommy - looks like the good luck bear is working

In January 2008, Chris Butler left Barrow and moved to Sligo in the Eircom Irish Premier League for a small fee.

Mark Boyd - He moved to Eircom Irish Premier Lesague side Sligo Rovers in the summer of 2007, before his move to Barrow in January 2008.

From Sligo messageboard - Ventre (now left Sligo) would certainly cost us points. You like to see a bit of passion in a player, but some of his tackling is downright dangerous.

Swings and roundabouts in a small world.

Barrow fans weren't happy to see Psycho leave, but Sligo could offer a full-time contract. Be interesting to see what Sligo fans think of Chris's tackling.

Paul Cook's travel agency - any more we don't know about?
