What ever happened to…

I seem to remember years' ago we entered into a partnership with an Irish league club to enable us to take our pick of any promising youngsters ? Or maybe I'm channelling my inner Abe Simpson.

What happened about the legal dispute with a farm called Everton ?
It was with Home Farm in Dublin
One of the most prominent and well known schoolboys clubs in Dublin
Richard Dunne started there

 
Steve Zocek (@alan ball ) with an excellent piece on Martin here -
I remember quite clearly as a ten year old myself at the time being very excited about this signing,huge back page banner headlines,"the new George Best" I'm sure we beat off competition from Manchester utd,Spurs and a few others which made you proud of our status as a club back then,we got him in and I think we were thinking he would be in and around the first team in next to no time,but nothing,it just never really happened for the lad unfortunately.
