Just five months before the tragic Munich Air Disaster, the Busby Babes came to town and took on Paddy Coad’s Shamrock Rovers at Dailymount Park in the European Cup 1st Round. The lads talk about Matt Busby’s thought on a Shamrock Rovers at that time, Dubliner Liam Whelan’s starring role in this game and his sad passing and also a closer run second leg which saw the first ever European goal for an Irish team. There’s also some chat on football memorabilia and a notable forged Dirk Kuyt signature. Support the show
