Irish football legend 🇮🇪

[@creaghzer1]

Brian Kerr is not just a Pat's legend, he's an Irish footballing legend too. Took his boyhood club Pat's from being a forgotten struggling club to the best team in Ireland on a shoestring budget. Then had huge success at Ireland underage level. Before a decent spell at the Irish senior side the Faroes. He quite literally lives for St Patrick's Athletic Football Club. What a man. Would love to see a feature on Pat's next time you're back in Dublin. A fascinating football club with its foundations in the local railway works and the heartbeat of a community that encompasses the Liberties, Inchicore, Bluebell, Drimnagh, Crumlin and much further afield.

[@RW-nr6bh]

I take it you're a Pat's fan? Long shot but I don't suppose you know a guy called Eddie Thompson? probably in his 50s or 60s now. He was a Pat's supporter from Inchicore, lived in Britain about 20 years ago, who I used to work with but lost touch. Could do with making contact again, I borrowed a book from him and never got chance to return it.

When Brian said that he managed St Patrick’s I was pretty skeptical like anyone would because it not everyday that some random man in the street tells you that he was a manager for a team like that so I did a little research on him and it surprised me as before he joined St Patrick’s he was the assistant manager of Drogheda United. After he got done coaching St Patrick’s, from 1997-2003 he coach Irelands U16, U18, and U20. Then from 2003-2005 he was the manager for Ireland. His last team that he managed was Faroe Islands from 2009-2011. Pretty remarkable career if you ask me!

Great video! I really hope you enjoy Belfast next week, I think you will particularly enjoy the Oval (Glentoran FC’s ground) as it’s old, full of history and hasn’t been touched by time or modernisation. It might be more difficult to get into some of the grounds in NI with it being the off season but there is a brilliant tour of Windsor Park (The National Stadium) you can do which includes entry to the National Football museum. The tour guides there are incredible and so passionate about their job, I would highly recommend it. I would also tweet some clubs in Belfast or wherever in Northern Ireland you want to go and I’m sure some of the groundsmen or club members would be more than happy to have you look around their ground, I know my club Glenavon who are based in Lurgan (30 mins from Belfast) usually leave their ground open to visitors.

Nice to have had a chat with you in Dalymount last Saturday. Your conversation with the taxi driver summed up the attitude of most to their home league.. they’ve absolutely no interest nor do the have a clue about the improvements made with the setting up of the underage national leagues.

[@bohsgerry]

Shelbourne's ground was formally the home of arguably Dublin's most famous football team DRUMCONDRA FC who played in TOLKA PARK until the early '7o's before going out of the league on the early 1970's which was a tragedy but are still playing as a good junior club.They played in distinctive colours of all yellow with two vertical red hoops on their jerseys and regularly played to crowds of 20,000 and up to 28,000 up to the late '60's.Shelbourne were originally from Dublin's south docklands in Ringsend and had a fine ground built there in the 1950's which succumbed ti inclement bad weather which affected the iron clad ground.After a nomadic existance playing on Greyhound stadia in Dublin they moved into Drumcondra's old ground.it is now set to be redeveloped after being saved from demolition thanks to their fans relentless determination.We await news on when the new development is to start.

Another weird fact. Given that you mentioned Bob Marley, Apparemtly, Dalymount was the venue for Bob Marlay's final ever outdoor gig. The club issued a replica Jersey with his image on it recently as a kind of collectors item.

[@dontfeedthetroll294]

Yeah his last outdoor gig, and it was the day I was born. His last ever gig was in St Petersburg, I've a recording of it on cassette tape somewhere in my mothers. One of his best performances IMO, it's almost as if he knew it was his last and therefore have it his all and then some. Best versions of "Redemption Song" I've ever heard, for the bit where he says "won't you help to sing" all the crown started to join in. He has the crowd eating from the palm of his hand, only time I've ever witnessed something so beautiful in relation to music, was Freddie Mercury at Live Aid.

I maybe wrong on this but Croke Park is the 3rd largest stadium in Europe with a capacity of over 82,000, it’s a magnificent stadium with lots of history (some tragic unfortunately) and while it’s a GAA stadium it does host big gigs as well as National football and rugby games while Lansdowne Road was being redeveloped.

Bohemians are the oldest continuous team in the League of Ireland. They are also the only ever present team in the premier division.

I actually really enjoyed your video, I’m a heavy LOI fan yet I’ve never stepped foot on any of those pitches

Excellent video, you jammy git !!! lol ... Can't wait to see where you and your car end up in Northern Ireland / The Republic next time ... Derry City is an absolute must, there's a terrific documentary on the club on BBC i-player...
