Having been born into a house located just opposite the present day Tallaght Stadium before being brought up in Knocklyon, had things transpired a little differently for Brian Gartland he could have been playing for Shamrock Rovers at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday.

As it stands, the Dundalk captain is aiming to win his third FAI Cup with his adopted hometown and complete a stunning treble in the process.
