what big names can you think of who came to Cov. By that, I mean they were well-known when they came here. Admittedly, probably in the twilght of their careers. How about:
Regis
Gerry Daly
Terry Yorath
Peter Barnes
Strachan
McAllister
Speedie
As much as Robbie Keane is a huge name now, at the time he came to us, he wasn't that big a name? He came from Wolves I believe? Having said that, he's gotta be one of my all time favourite players!
Keane was well know to any football fan, not a household name by any means... he was scoring for fun in 1st division and a number of premiership teams were long at him at the time
