Tommy O'Sullivan

There is always something special about homegrown kids. I remember the likes of Jason Perry and Damon Searle making their debuts in late 80s (think Perrys was v orient and searle v peterboro) and the crowd always warm to the local kids. Lets hope that at least 3 or 4 of the current crop make it to the very top.

Phil Dwyer was another

Earnie, James Collins and Joe Ledley were others.

Ian Jones full back remember him?

Alan Davies was it also Mount boy?

Is Tommy belonging to Stuart/John etc City Gent?

Yeah know Ian well. Didn't quite make the grade at City but was an accomplished full back. His son is at our academy and I've heard he's one the best for his age. Lee Phillips too. Lee played quite a few games in our fourth division side just before Sam Hammam took over. Alan Lewis is a good friend of mine. Had a couple of seasons here as pro. Blackburn were in for him at the time but it never worked out

I assumed Tommy was related to John too but its a different O'Sullivan family. There can't be too many different O'Sul clans in the mount!!

I used to play football with Lee Phillips, a good player. Went to Darran Las with him too, he was plying his trade in the welsh prem with Llanelli with my mate from the RAF last I heard.

I'm sure Ian made his debut up at Blackpool in the early 90's ?

yes he did. I was there.

And me ,I think we lost (surprise surprise ) 1-0

We did.

Do you remember a local merthyr boy playing for Cardiff mate, Derick Showers..

Ross Chivers'uncle i believe

Correct. Before my time with the City. I remember him playing for Hoover Sports and he was shit then as well

Last i spoke to Lee, he was coaching Aberaman with another former Bluebird Lee Jarman. That was last season - not sure if he's still there

He is still there lakey, and they have changed their name from aberaman to aberdare this season

Played against Allan Lewis, (he played for Penrhiwceiber Cons in the SW Senior League about 15 years ago or so) he was a bloody mountain, lucky he was centre half as i only had to mark him at corners. I don't think I beat him in the air once. Real gent, when we were having our after match pint I asked him about playing for City and he just laughed it off, pointed at another guy and said, should be talking to him he's miles better than I am.
