Yeah Dundalk stole league from city in 1990-91 season. I might have seen a few games in previous season but can't remeber. Earliest memory of a city game was in the cup (v Derry???) at Flower Lodge a couple years beforehand when Derry had a massive away following.

Yeah. 87/88 I'd say. Derry with the Yugaslovian Alex Kristic up front and a couple of other foreigners aswell (which was very unusual in those days). They brought thousands down that day. Very impressive.

Does anyone know who we played on that cup run? I know it was Derry in the quarter (1-0), and then Shams beat us over two legs in the semis (4-1, 4-2 I think!). My (usually disfunctional) memory tells me we might have played Limerick and Park(or Bank) Rovers in earlier rounds.

Nicely hijacked thread this.

Jeez lads all showing your ages remembering the 80's

Did Vasco de Gama play for Derry or am I mixing him up with an explorer???

I'm sure the Derry City away fans in those days brought the same fascination to the home fans as Eanna, the flare & the jester hat did for those kids in Monaghan

that woulda been the classy Eoin de Gama, good player in his day

as for hijacking the thread, well i knew not voting on it ages ago would pay off as my vote on the poll brought it right back to the top of the pile again...

BTW go on Billy Woods

i am still surprised no-one remembers dobb's agoal gainst waterford in 1998. we won 5-0 and cahill got a hatrick

Dont' worry Dalo, I remember it, a stunner that flew over Jody Byrne into the top corner at the St. Annes end. I am still convinced to this day that it was that result that turned Dick O Hanlon against us forever!!

Mulligans against Celtic, just for the shock effect!
