    Any chance you could do one on Dundalk's incredible run in the Europa League last year, or Shamrock Rover's in 2011? Massive achievements for very small clubs in comparison to their competition. Or even the time Bobby Charlton played for Waterford​ United, or Sam Allardyces time at Limerick FC, the first club he managed!

    My dad played for Derry in the early 60s. Ironically he can recall playing up in Belfast where the team would get lots of sectarian abuse from Linfield, which they could never understand because most of the players were protestants and so were a majority of the fans. It should be remembered that back then that there were several factors around the club that made it very different to the modern team and city. The west bank of the City was still around 35% unionist, about 25,000 people and they made up the majority of the club's support and players. Although the majority of the City board were Nationalists. Nationalists themselves had grown up knowing that even attending a Soccer match could get you banned from playing or attending GAA sports and although most of these rules had been relaxed, that ethos and an underlying feeling that Soccer was a unionist sport, still meant City only had a small following among Nationalists. Bear in mind their average home gate was still only around 2,500 people most Saturdays, not the tens of thousands often suggested by those with faded memories. The only games that drew big crowds were the visits of Linfield and Belfast Celtic. The latter had gone by the 50s when Linfield's visits drew between 5-10,000 but other games much less. As many Derry men in the ground would turn up to support the Blues rather than the home side. Even today more fans leave the Waterside to watch Linfield than watch the local team, Institute. As a kid in the 50s, my dad could recall how the sectarian divide operated at the Brandywell. On leaving a Derry game he noticed the greyhounds arriving and on finding out there would be racing, he asked his dad if they could stay. The reply was short and direct "Prods watch Football, RCs watch dogs" [the phrasing was less politically correct of course] The advent of the troubles was a disaster for the Irish League club in many ways. their own fanbase didn't feel safe going to the Brandywell and attendances plummeted. Few in the Bogside of 1970 cared about a prod team on their doorstep and few prods were willing to go to the Brandywell so Derry City were left largely friendless. At first the club sought to migrate to the Waterside, a move that a staggering 98% of the unionist population made between 1972-1984, dropping from 24,000 to just 500 in that time. Within a few years the few unionists involved in the club had given up and drifted away although by 1979 the ambition was still to rejoin the Irish League.

      GAA has never been popular in Derry city though so I don't know why they would have cared about being banned from the GAA, there only really is one strong club in the city compared to Belfast which has numerous.

    The Ulster banner isn't the official flag of Northern Ireland, It is a silly flag using an old Catholic Gaelic red hand symbol as some sort of British loyalist symbol. The red hand was a famous anti Englsh symbol during the Elizabethan wars in Ireland, now unionists use it to show how British they are.

    The first time I ever went to the Brandy was way back in the early '60s when I was 7 years old. My Da had to lift me over the turnstile on the instruction of the guy on the job. I was a regular in later years. Big games included the IFA Cup tie against Linfield in the mid to late 60s. DC raced into a two goal lead but two goals from Linfield levelled the match. As far as I recall Linfield had 3 'goals' disallowed that day. Also the Cup Winners cup tie with Steau Bucharest in 65. DC lost that tie 0-5 on aggregate.
