A few years ago I wrote about Ray Keogh, a star player in a golden age for Drumcondra and Ards in the 1960s
Came across this pic of Ray next to my Dad (the one with the ball at his feet) in 1971 when they won the Intermediate Cup with Tullamore.

Harrison McCloy is the sixth former Bohemian FC player that I can find listed as having been killed during WWI.
McCloy was a player for Bohemians from 1902-05 and served as a club Vice President from the 1905-06 season through to 1911-12.

Lovely piece on Dublin football and beer, featuring some familiar names if youโve read my book, โShades of Greenโ

In the course of writing this I was LOI-pilled.

The ailing world of Dublin football and the misunderstood world of modern beer got bored of being forgotten and clubbed together. The result? Flourishing scenes for both.
@eoghanwalshbxl.bsky.social heads to Dublin to drink beer, watch Bohs, and find out more.
