SHAMROCK ROVERS HAVE paid tribute to one of the club’s “all-time greats”.
Ronnie Nolan, who won numerous honours with the Hoops, has passed away, aged 89.
The robust half-back joined Rovers in 1952 from the famous Dublin schoolboy club Johnville and went on to win four league titles and six FAI Cups with the club.
He was also capped ten times by the Republic of Ireland, scoring two goals.
Nolan also had a spell as player and assistant manager at Bohemians, where he picked up another FAI Cup winners medal in 1970. He played in 13 FAI Cup finals during his career.
