Rohan Ricketts: In Pictures

When Hot Press caught up with Shamrock Rovers' midfield enforcer Rohan Ricketts ahead of this Thursday's Europa League clash with Tottenham Hotspur, we found the charismatic footballer in fine form and more than willing to indulge in a selection of poses for ace snapper Graham Keogh.

Looking forward to the showdown with Spurs at Tallaght Stadium, Ricketts recalled fond memories of Rovers' first battle at White Hart Lane back in September.

"To have 30,000 Spurs fans give me a standing ovation as I ran on to the pitch was amazing," he said. "Even more amazing was that the 5,000 or 6,000 Rovers fans out-sung them throughout the game."

It's sure to be an epic encounter tomorrow night. To view the full gallery of Rohan's pics, click here. For the complete interview with Ricketts, be sure to pick up a copy of the Hot Press Annual, in stores on Thursday December 15.
