Shamrock Rovers fans remind supporter of promise he made before FAI Cup win

Shamrock Rovers fans have been reminding a supporter of a promise he made before their FAI Cup triumph.

The Hoops lifted the trophy for the 25th time in their history last November after a penalty shootout win over Dundalk.

But one fan doubted his club would be successful in the Aviva decider and pledged to get a tattoo of manager Stephen Bradley if Rovers won.

Darren Glennon posted on Facebook in late September: "If we lift that trophy I'll get a Bradley tattoo."

Mr Glennon has yet to get the tattoo over six months after the success and supporters of the Tallaght club have been reminding him that they have not forgotten about his pledge.

Hoops' fans have so far raised over €22,000 for their club through a Go Fund Me during the coronavirus pandemic and have now raised more than €1,000 to help towards the cost of the tattoo.

Rovers fan Jason Maloney said: "Our good friend Darren Glennon once famously said that he'd get a tattoo of Bradser if he ever won us a major trophy. So far Darren has rebuffed all requests to do so.

"So now we're calling him out. We're going to use the Gofundme fund to try and put a bit a pressure on. Today is match day against Bohs and payday for many of us so I'm going to ask that anyone who donates over the next few days or so puts TAT after their name so we can have a bit of craic and put the pressure on Darren. It's all for the good of the club and Darren has never let us down before when he was needed."
