Show Notes
Owen Heary is one of the greatest full backs to play in the League of Ireland.
He’s also a man who used to win league titles with clubs which almost went to the wall after.
The Shelbourne and Bohemians legend talks to Neil O’Riordan about kicking Pat Dolan in the shins, watching criminals walk into Tolka Park and how the FAI never bothered to give Shels players winners medals the day they won the league.
He also discusses Roddy Collins’s missing tooth, agreeing to join a new club after the manager got him drunk, playing Champions League football in Spain and why staying involved in football cost him a more reliable living. This is a podcast chatting to the legends of the League of Ireland- the good, the bad and the glory days. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
