Show Notes
Sligo Rovers royalty Dykes was a phenomenal leader for his hometown club, and later Derry City and Finn Harps.

He explains why he made his Sligo debut after a few pints in the pub, discusses the magic behind a most-unexpected Treble and a managerial and coaching career that later saw him manage Derry City in a do or die relegation battle with Harps.
