- Former Republic of Ireland footballer Anthony Stokes is doing porridge in a Scottish jail after handing himself up to police after failing to appear in court to be sentenced for abusing his ex-partner by text.
Stokes father John owned the Players Lounge Pub when an attempt was made on the life of Real IRA boss Alan Ryan there.
The 35-year-old, once tipped as Ireland’s greatest footballing hope, has had a chequered career and only recently got off a cocaine charge in Dublin after the substance he was caught with wasn’t certified as the Class A drug by Forensic Science Ireland.
Nicola speaks to Niall Donald about the highs and lows in the life of Stokes who was tipped for stardom but who has ended up on football's scrap heap.

Thr life and crimes of Anthony Stokes:
Man assults Elvis impersonator
Man involved in domestic with his missus
Man found with in possession of drugs.
Turns out he was not in possession of drugs.
Give me my 18 minutes back.
You're completely missing the point, maybe one Irish player in a generation has the potential to be world class but Stokes threw it away because he thought he could live it up and get away with talent alone. This podcast only scratches the surface of what Stokes and his scumbag father got up to. If you listened to the podcast, the State messed up the drugs case and Stokes got off with the charge.
Two hopeless junkies talking crap. That show of hers will be surveiled by unknown eyes .
@@emmams5 this is complete drivel. He was talented but it was obvious really early he was a bit short.
That's not a crime
This is not irish fan TV its a crime podcast
@@tan97, You don't get onto Arsenal's books if you're a bang average player. The rest of your comment is gobbledygook so I don't know what point you were trying to make.
@@emmams5 you haven't a breeze what your talking about here. Most are bang average that's why they don't make it like the above mentioned. He never had potential to be world class he's just another average Irish footballer that got let go by the club they started off with due to the lack of ability Caoimhin kelleher is world class not that dumb ra head wanna be. All these so called republicans being caught with drugs is that not against there company policy.
Never talked about as potentially world class
16 goals in half a season with Falkhirk at 19 he was good for 6 months
World class 🤣🤣
Average! @@donalturley
😂😂😂 no even Dublin class ya banger
What an embarrassing mess from the state. Can't test a batch of drugs and confirm whether it is or is not one of the main illegal drugs? WTF
Johnny Giles said it best. That if Anthony spent half the amount of time playing football as he did playing republican he would have been as talented as George best. Very sad.
Bit of a stretch that in all fucking fairness
Choices in life....
Was and is an arse.
Talented as George Best 🤣🤣 and I'm a Celtic fan too, reaching there mate.
When did Johnny Giles say that?
He done great for years and they weren't exactly crimes of the century for f,ck sake 🙄 ANTHONY all the best bro 👊 from a dundee fc fan 👍
cant listen to this man, he struggles to put a sentence together ffs
At least children were safe around him
Big jock knew
@@billyboycfc Speaking as a Rangers man that is a disgraceful post.
You are obviously a bigot rather than a football fan.
Speaking as a Hibs fan to which Anthony stokes was part of the team that finally got the cup back to Easter road and the oldest Hibs fan who was there Sammy Martinez 106yrs old got to see his beloved Hibs take the cup back to Easter road and your comment is disgraceful I agree with the ranger's fan totally what a fricking daft comment to put up think before you put a comment up to me yours is disgraceful
The government telling you to take down a poster in your own business sounds wild. That would be crazy thinking in the States.
Our Government is run by Commy WEF/EU puppets, Ireland for the Irish 🇮🇪
It was a banner not a poster, and it was outside the pub
Acting like the US still has free speech is funny.
Yeah right ! USA is woke af
@@benitolazio8193 you're talking about liberals.
Brilliant player. All the best to him. Wish him every success in the future💚🍀
Tony Stokes cup final ask hibs they know and so do sevco
Sevco 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Better than Big Jock Knewco I guess 🚀🤡🤡🤡🤡
Stokes was a player on his day, some great memories at Celtic. Drugs are bad haha
Mmmmm kay
Played over a 100 games & won multiple league & cups for his boyhood club.
OMG where did it all go wrong 😂
He was never touted as a ‘World Class’ player.
Pretty sure he took chase a few weeks after the drugs incident. He was driving a vw golf R and he was caught in loughlinstown a short distance away from where the car was found.
we ill see👍👍
I wouldn't be a fan of Stokes but to be fair, most of that lot had the square root of feck all to do with him.
Where is he now?
Doesn’t mention him scoring twice for Hibs in the cup final against Rangers , or just selective with the facts ?
Pesky protestants eh or masons 😂
No they won't mention that Anthony stokes scored 2 goals for Hibs and David Gray scored against rangers to get the cup back to Easter road and there was a old man of 106yrs old at that game called Sammy Martinez who finally saw the cup go back to Easter road he's the oldest Hibs fan I knew and Sammy Martinez was from westerhailes and such a humble man and I had the pleasure of knowing Sammy and his wife Mary for many years sadly Mary died a few years before Sammy and he would say to us I'm not going to join my beloved Mary until I see the cup going to Easter road and he did and sadly not long after he saw the cup going to Easter road Sammy Martinez passed away and is now with his beloved wife Mary and grandson Paul Martinez rip Sammy Martinez you were there and now your up above with Mary and grandson Paul Martinez
Definitely one of most skilled players iv seen.
You obviously not seen many footballers then as was average at best
watched about 8 games of fitba mate?
That was boy with an h. 🙃
100%
Not an Elvis fan was our Anthony
Is he known as The Footballer or Mr Football in the sunday rag
The ban on the queen was hilarious.
Two clueless people making a story up as they go along without any hard facts , naive woman, she said cocaine he was caught with was not a tenners worth .
Funny , when you said Iran , i heard Milan !
'Celtic sought to distance themselves from Republicianism same as rangers did with loyalism'
Haha.
They've increased their output of orange strips and employed a uvf guy as head of PR or something.
Orange strips = Bheasting your boys club 🤔
Set up to get him off.corruption?????
I never knew what happened to Anthony Stokes. He just fell off the radar. Now I know why.
The Queen's visit was in 2011...
Born to fail poor boy mislead all his life .
Athony stokes was a brilliant player for hibs and once again this guy whos talking is fricking clueless athony got us the Scottish cup along with David Gray and let him get on with his life now yes he's been in prison but are you telling me that hes the only one get a fucking life and let stokesy get on with his yes hes done wrong but hes paid for it and good luck Antony for the future loved you at hibs and celtic good luck
Guess what all of you negative assholes for Frick sake let Anthony stokes get on with his life and I'm a woman and I don't believe some of what the ex partner and her mum were saying about him so for Frick sake yes he was in the jail but not the only one who's been there let him move on and get on with his life and another thing what people don't know they make up anyway good luck Tony get yourself back on track and Frick sake dump the so called pals and folk that have been quick to take sides with your ex and her mum with telling the same story as them
Come on guys he's hardly Al capone you give the impression he's gotta a list as long as your arm or on the FBI's most wanted 😂😂
Said he was scum when he was here(Glasgow)...turned out that way!
Stokes Lacked Speed ! ! !
Nah he just took too much of it 😂
He doesn’t lack it now 🙈 pardon the punt
Ye know
Dares more to Oirland den dis.
Back of the net
Brilliant footballer and great bloke 🇮🇪
He was not even average 😂
Won the Scottish cup with Hibs and was man of the match in the final but did you not want to mention that nah??? Or did you not just do your research???
You reap what you sow.
I think he played his best football on loan with Falkirk I think we'll who ever it was I say we're his happiest football days shame but look at loads of footballers who just couldn't handle that much money and fame all different now💯
Waster
He might have played for Celtic, but his name is English. I just like to point that out 😊
Too many people think it’s cool to be gangster watching too many Scorsese movies 🍿 trigger happy goons.
Wasted his career
Arsenal falkirk sunderland celtic and two spells at hibs winning honours with celtic and hibs not a bad career`
Waste of a life
Who
I thought he came over a bit of a fanny
Neve as good a Roy Keane proper Irish man.
That ran off on his national team
Open borders, extra EU foreighn fishing vessels delivering product in Irish waters, and our Navy used as a taxi service to transport young fakeugee men thousands of knots away from Ireland dosent help our drug problem along with Drews Hassisment of Gardi, and criminals familys involving the garda ombudsman because Gardi were doing their job that they were trained to do and unfortunately young criminals died but causing a lack of moral among members while the DPP are investigating Gaurds who have only split second decissions to save lives, Helen and Drew must resign, indeed our Gaurds are doing a great job, but instead of stopping unacompined learner permit drivers going to work, maby the Guards could board aeroplanes at Irish Airports and check documentation and allocation seating with bording pass numbers, this could stop fakeugees and economic migrants coming here and then less non Native Irish people would be looking for driving tests freeing up driving test time, freeing up Garda time looking for young unaccompanied drivers, instead looking for real criminals, including Government TDs who also are cocaine drug users, Ireland for the Irish 🇮🇪, Vote No & No March 8th to keep Ireland Irish,
