 A self-confessed Shamrock Rovers fan with a Rovers crest tattooed on his arm, commentators saw this as a dream move for Molloy.However he joined a club that had been struggling both on and off the field, as they fought to find a permanent home for themselves.For three years Molloy performed admirably (he was top club goalscorer in 2003 and the Player of the Year in 2004) and his dynamic displays saw him become a hero for the Rovers fans who had a love/hate relationship with him for years.
