About the player
No one in the League of Ireland has made more European appearances than Seán Gannon.
Gannon came through the Shamrock Rovers youth ranks and made his senior debut for the club in 2011, only to be released the following year. St Patrick's Athletic gave him another chance, and he repaid it by winning the League of Ireland Premier Division with them in 2013. In 2014, with a trial at Millwall on the table, he chose to stay in Ireland and join Dundalk instead.
Over seven seasons at Dundalk, Gannon won five league titles, three FAI Cups and three League of Ireland Cups, and was picked for the PFAI Team of the Year six years running, from 2014 to 2019. One goal from that spell still gets talked about: a team move built from 36 passes against his old club, St Patrick's Athletic, in 2014. The same rivalry with silverware brought pain too, with an ankle injury suffered in the 2015 FAI Cup Final.
He returned to Shamrock Rovers in December 2020 as a free agent and added three more league titles there before joining Shelbourne in January 2024, again without a transfer fee. Through all of it, a full Republic of Ireland senior cap has not come his way.
