Left to right: Giles, Dempsey, Finucane?? Don't know the two on the right. Conroy possibly. I think I was at that game. Late 1960s. We lost something like 1-2 or 2-3. Those were the days when you'd almost get crushed to death as a child trying to get in to the ground. They let in as many who turned up at the stiles.Quote:

Most probably, Charlie Hurley and Shay Brennan (to the right).Quote:

Ireland v Italy 1985 'friendly'. Gardai action lessened the potential for disaster, by a few crucial degrees.

Not forgetting 1985 is now 27 years ago. That's old enough by my book ;P
Very famous photo. One of my favourites of Dalymounts "glory days". Health and Safety is for puffs! ;) ;)
The real potential for disaster at an Ireland game at Dalymount, would be any one of Mick Martin's passes across midfield.Quote:

One of my old favourites which expressed the sentiments of just about every Rovers' fan at the time (and still ;))
The best Shamrock Rovers' team of all time?

Definitely the best Shamrock Roers team of all-time.Quote:

If it's a Dennehy you want in the team, can you do better than a Dennehy from Cork called Miah?Quote:
