James Bolger: 'It was a literally a baptism of fire. I came out to the flares and the smoke, it was unbelievable'
Few players could hope to enjoy as fine a start to their Drogheda United career as James Bolger. The midfielder-turned-centre back speaks to Love Is The Drog about his first weeks in claret-and-blue.
Football means a lot of things to many people. One constant everyone can agree on though, is that this game is a fickle business. Just ask Hayden Cann, a player who no sooner had he seemingly written his name into Drogheda United folklore with his injury time winner against Dundalk in the Louth derby - and was lionised by supporters - he was scapegoated for United’s poor run of form that left them adrift at the foot of the Premier Division table.
