Between 2010 and 2013, Sligo Rovers specialised in drama and silverware.
Under the stewardship of Paul Cook - now the manager of giantkilling Wigan - and Ian Baraclough, the Bit o' Red won three FAI Cups, a League Cup, and an SSE Airtricity League Premier Division title in the space of four years, with each of their Cup final wins as dramatic as the last.
In 2010 and 2011 Ciaran Kelly was the hero saving six penalties across two shootouts, as Sligo lifted the cup at the expense of Shamrock Rovers and Shelbourne.
In 2012, they became SSE Airtricity League champions for the first time in 35 years, holding off Drogheda United and St Pats, and while they failed to defend their title in the following campaign, they did win their third FAI Cup in the space of four years, with a late, late 3-2 win against Drogs at the Aviva Stadium.
An integral part of those successes was right back Alan Keane, who had joined the club as Seamus Coleman's replacement, when the Donegal man had been sold to Everton.
Keane joined Philip Egan on the Boot Room on Premier League Live with Sky Sports yesterday, to look back at a glorious period for Sligo Rovers.
