Broke his leg in 1998 and never rocovered fully. Pretty much ended his career although he has played quite a bit of non-league football in the UK.

I remember him well! Absolute hero in Champ Manager 99/00! I'm sure a Liverpool fan can confirm, but I vaguely remember him making his debut for Liverpool and they won 8-0 in the League Cup or something - then I don't think he ever played again for them!

Richie had terrible luck with injuries, was playing well on loan at Coventry, scored some absolute belters, and was on the bench for the 0-0 friendly VS Greece under Givens. Think he broke his leg, which put him out for the season, and after a few games for the reserves tore his cruciate, so he lost the better part of two years of development. Went to school with a mate of mine, said Liverpool wouldn't even allow him to have a kickabout on the street in case he picked up a knock |

He was quality for Wigan in their climb to the EPL. Just didnt have the class needed to play in the big league. |

I was just watching MK Dons in the play-off, Gleeson just got sent off and gave away a penalty for a foul which was outside the penalty box. Gleeson was not having a bad game and he is a tigy passer of a ball, looks a little slow though

Didn't know where else to put this so I googled "forgotten Irish YBIG" and Bob's your uncle.
Recent article about a lad named Darren Grogan who played in Tottenham's academy and played senior football in Portugal before prematurely retiring. Has good things to say about Paul Gascoigne.

Kenny McEvoy was another Spurs starlet, a Gareth Bale lookalike of whom big things were once expected. Still only 27 and now playing for South Normanton Athletic.
