Spike giving Shams abuse from about 4.20 in.
That 1989 jersey is a thing of beauty!
As well as Derry featuring on the Undertones' My Perfect Cousin cover, the words 'Derry City FC' can also be seen - if you look very closely - written vertically on the right-hand-side of the band's Get Over You cover.
I'm not sure what exactly that little red and green-outlined graphic is (has anyone any insight?) or why the name of the club is remotely relevant to the rest of the cover art, but there you go...

Weren't you ever a kid? Turn it sideways. It's a fire engine
So, what's the significance of the fire engine?
There's also a game of Subbuteo played between Derry and Harps, along with other related footballing antics, in the My Perfect Cousin video:
Fair City is always good for a LOI mention. Fella that plays Paul in it has mentioned Bohs a few times. He is actually a Bohs fan too, met him in Dalymount. And as above, Cass mentioned Finn Harps a few weeks back. A few years back they had a sports shop in the show with LOI jerseys in the background.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
There was a flag with 'Sligo Rovers Forever More' written across it on a beano (I think) comic strip shortly after we won the treble in '94.
Did the Unmentionables never feature in Glenroe back in the day?
One of the producers is a Pats fan and so is the lad who plays Barry (his brother worked with pats for years). Producer always had pats jerseys in the sports shop
haven't found footage online though

I'm totally claiming credit for that Life and Times of Tim one.
In one of my first ever posts on here I posted that. Hmmm...
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
I seem to remember in Glenroe, every time somebody tried to go to Bray, they died horribly.
Cheers so. I think I saw it first on boards.ie. Is taht you too?

I think that was nicked from here. :P
Easily verifiable.

They didn't call them the Bray Unknowns for nothing.
Not forgetting the highlight of the film Michael Collins ... Bray's 1990s Carlisle Grounds masquerading as 1920s Croke Park
Could even feature in biggest ever attendance thread then
Jesus, that episode of 'The Family' has given me a dose of the fear - what a depressing hole Dublin was then.
Oddly enough, Dalymount is even worse now than it was then.
