Currently watching the '83 cup final, one nil to Bohs after 45 minutes, Murphy from a corner kick, one down. Further updates after full time Rovers up against it at the minute, Rutherford gone off injured.
Well as you might of guessed the rest is history. Dalymount was well cut up day and it never stopped raining, directly the opposite I was told when we got home to Sligo. Stenson was nearly out of the camera angle when he scored the leveller and as the commentator said of Harry's classic "its a goal worthy to win a cup final"
A lot of memories from that one. Stenny was nearly off injured as well. Half-time, lashing rain, riots on the terraces, beaten on the field. Foxy with the free-kick (?), Andy Elliot's dummy and Stenny, almost falling over, burying the equaliser.
Harry's winner, Oakley's incredible full-stretch save, and mudbath celebrations. Those of us who were there will miss Dalymount.
"Even if the wind stops to blow
Even if the sea ceases to flow
Even if the sun ceases to rise
The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."
