This is your LOIfe

Show Notes

Shelbourne cup final hero Greg Costello arrived back from England after being let go by World Cup winner Ossie Ardiles to a league he knew nothing about.

Over the course of the next decade and more he established himself as one of the characters of the game, enjoying success at home and in Europe.

He lifts the lid on a boozy pre-season incident that belongs firmly in the past, a ham sandwich-related meltdown from Damien Richardson, his fury about being being made a mockery of by a former team mate and why he never expected to get one final chance at the mighty Shamrock Rovers.
