GIUSEPPE ROSSI
onight is a really important night for the club, the town, the players, for me and for Filippo. We are looking forward to it and we really want to make everybody in Dundalk happy. I am 10 years younger than Filippo but we used to live in the same building, right from when I was born. We know each other forever, over 30 years, and I will never forget the day he called me and said there might be an opportunity coming in Ireland. Our target was qualification for the Europa League. We got through the first stage and the second stage and now we’re just one step away. I think we deserve to go through and I hope for the people in Dundalk that we go through. The supporters here are really passionate and they make us proud of what we do on the field. I hope that we can give them a huge moment on Thursday night. A lot of things went through my head during the penalty shootout in Moldova last week. I thought that we deserved to win the game. I was nervous because with penalties you never know, it’s a bet. But I was also confident because each of our players approached their penalties with huge personality. Almost every one of them wanted to take one. It was amazing. To concede a goal after six minutes, against a team like Sheriff who can really destroy you, was tough but the players remained composed and
stayed with the plan and they played with great personality and focus. We came back well and we had two or three great chances where we could have won the game in 90 minutes and again in extra time. At half time we said, ‘Okay, now we can see that we can do it’. We just told them to go back out and keep the momentum going. Sheriff moved their possession up in the second half but we avoided what they like, through balls in the middle and little
from the Faroe Islands will be easy but KI is a team that can suffer during the game and still win. In their last game against Dinamo Tiblisi, they won 6-1 and only had 29% of possession. They scored six goals. If you balance the possession and the goals, that is unbelievable! They’re a good team and the things they do, they do well. They know how to defend, they stay compact and when they create a chance, they score! Soccer is a global game now and there are no weak teams. Everybody studies the game and everybody has access IT WAS GREAT TO SEE PEOPLE to technology to REALLY HAPPY AND TO COME BACK prepare for a game. KI TO DUNDALK AND SEE PEOPLE WHO is in the playoff round WERE PROUD OF WHAT WE DID IN because they are a MOLDOVA. NOW WE HAVE ONE LAST good team. We have STEP TO TAKE. to respect them but we have our own strengths combinations, and in the end, and we have to make them we got the result we deserved. work during the game. I’m Against a team like Sheriff, confident we can do that. you can only go through if you The draw for the group give the sort of performance stages takes place on Friday we did. morning. I was really nervous The celebrations at the for the last two rounds but I end were fantastic. I think I told Filippo that if we are in watched Gavin’s video about the group stage draw I will just 200 times! It was amazing. I sit back, relaxing and laughing! was so happy for the players When I think about it, it is because of the work they put difficult for me to realise just in on the pitch and for all of how big it could be. I’ll be the people who work with us, honest, I’d love to play against the physios, the goalkeeping Tottenham and Jose Mourinho coach, the conditioning coach, and also against Napoli. the staff and everybody at Gennaro Gattuso was my idol the club. It was great to see when I was younger. Playing people really happy and to against his team would mean come back to Dundalk and more than playing against AC see people who were proud of Milan but, before we dream, what we did in Moldova. Now we must make it happen. we have one last step to take. It’s going to be really difficult Enjoy the game! tonight. People think a team Giuseppe Rossi

CLUB NEWS
FANS BACK IN ORIEL
Dundalk fan Anne Mernagh makes her way into Oriel Park ahead of the game with Shamrock Rovers
In line with current Irish government guidelines, Dundalk Football Club can confirm that 100 supporters will be permitted to attend Sunday evening’s SSE Airtricity League game with Finn Harps at Oriel Park. Please note that this initiative is completely dependent on Co Louth (Level Two) not being a part of any further restrictions. A draw for the 100 tickets took place at Oriel Park on Tuesday, performed and witnessed by club administration staff. All supporters must be current season ticket holders and must agree to follow strict protocols in order to attend the game. To facilitate the safe return of supporters, the club has put a number of conditions in place. Supporters must agree to abide by all of these protocols before admission.
q Completion of an online COVID-19 questionnaire q Temperature checks prior to entering Oriel Park. q Dundalk FC encourages all supporters to wear face masks on their way to, and inside, Oriel Park. q Each ticket is nontransferable. If a supporter can not make the game they must return the ticket to the club and another supporter’s name will be drawn q Any juvenile supporters who are drawn must be accompanied by a parent/ guardian who must also be a current season ticket holder. Those who gain entry to the ground will be seated in the north-east (town end) terrace and The Shed on a first-come, first-served basis. The main stand is unavailable to supporters as it will be used by both sets of substitutes, along with media and match 22
delegates. Social distancing will be carried out at all times in the ground unless supporters come from the same household. This is the second game in which supporters have been permitted to attend; 100 fans were also in attendance for the 4-0 defeat to Shamrock Rovers on Sunday night and Lilywhites chief operating officer Martin Connolly said it was great to have people back in the ground. “Everybody at the club was really looking forward to seeing people back in Oriel again so to have 100 here for the Rovers game was brilliant and it passed off very smoothly,” he said. “It’s been very tough on everyone at the club not having supporters at our games since we came out of lockdown so it’ll be brilliant to see some of them here again against Finn Harps on Sunday.”
FRANK RYAN
EUROPEAN MEMORIES During the lockdown earlier this year, we caught up with 87-year-old supporter Frank Ryan from Malahide in Dublin who has been supporting the Lilywhites for over 70 years. After falling in love with the Lilywhites in 1945, Frank spent much of the sixties and seventies following the club in Europe and he was happy to share some wonderful memories with us. DFC: You were born and raised in Dublin so how did you end up supporting Dundalk? FR: My father Sean was the president of the GAA from 1928-1932 and I grew up beside Dalymount Park in Phibsborough. In those days, the ban was in existence and every Sunday I would go down to Croke Park but I never went to Dalymount Park. I walked past it every day but the ban was there and my father was very interested in GAA. One Saturday, a pal of mine at school asked me if I wanted to go to Dalymount. I said I wouldn’t be allowed because that’s the way things where back then but we went anyway. My pal said ‘they’re my team’. I asked who they were? ‘Bohemians’, he said. Now bear in mind I lived yards from Dalymount Park and I didn’t even know who the team was! He said. ‘you can have the other team. They’re Dundalk’. I’ve followed them ever since! DFC: Any stand out memories from the games you’ve seen? I was at the famous match in 1952 when the Walter Durkan ‘goal’ took place against St Patrick’s. The referee deemed that the ball didn’t go over the line but there were pictures in the paper the following day that
The Nepstadion in Budapest
showed it had! To the best of my knowledge, Pat’s kicked up shit about it! In those days, they used to bring in English referees to do the matches and he got a bollocking at the end. I don’t think he was beaten up but he was certainly harangued and abused! DFC: Dundalk has taken you to various different places over the years... FR: Yes, I’ve been all over Europe following the club. I was in Switzerland when we beat Zurich in our first-ever away game, I was in Budapest when Vasas beat us 9-0, I was at Anfield for the 10-0 against Liverpool, I was at White Hart Lane for the game against Tottenham in 1981, I was at Ibrox, I was in Holland, I’ve been everywhere! I had a wonderful time. DFC: Which trip sticks out? The Swiss trip was the best one ever because it was our first away game in Europe and we won the game. There must have been about 80 people who went to Zurich! It was marvellous. Fr Maguire was on that trip as a guest of the club 23
and he used to say mass for us every morning as was the case in those days! DFC: You mentioned Budapest four years later…. FR: Yes, Vasas beat us 9-0 but it was a marvellous trip. The game was actually a double-header in the famous Népstadion in Budapest and there were 80 or 90,000 people at the game. The Vasas Dundalk game was actually the feature match! At half-time, there was a draw for a bicycle and some fella up at the back of the stand won it. The spotlight zoomed in on him and followed him all the way down to the pitch. He was presented with the bike and went on to ride around the stadium four or five times waving at the crowd! I still have a Russian flag which I swiped off the table of the hotel we were staying in. Both of the visiting teams who played in the double-header stayed in the same hotel and when you came down in the morning, they had an Irish flag and a Russian flag on the tables just to make the teams feel welcome. I stole the Russian flag. Just don’t tell the Hungarian police!!
EUROPEAN RETRO
THE SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES
later the £12,000 floodlighting pylons arrived and brought with it an exciting new era for Dundalk FC. They fell down in 1969. The floodlights allowed Dundalk to play money spinning matches against Northern teams such as Linfield and Glentoran. But their first job was to transform Oriel Park into a stadium fit to host one of Europe’s top teams, Vasas Budapest. The reports of the match in the national and local media gave as much attention, if not more, to how well Oriel Park was looking. Dundalk were excellent and were unlucky to lose 1-0. The Dundalk Democrat raved about how the “brilliant flood of light was focused on
the emerald green of the pitch”. The return in Budapest was, unofficially, the largest attendance that any Dundalk team played in front of with an estimated 100,000 people crammed into the People’s Stadium. It turned out to be a traumatic experience resulting in the joint-third heaviest defeat in the club’s history, 8-1. However, the result was only part of the story. Alan Fox’s decision to bring Paddy Turner, who was struggling for fitness, to Hungary against the wishes of the Dundalk board led to a very unfortunate series of events. The Dundalk board were so disgusted by the performance that they initially refused to 30
cover the costs of the player’s breakfasts in the hotel on the following morning! With relations between board and manager at a low ebb, Fox was suspended for a month in October. While the board denied that this was Budapest related, the relationship never truly recovered between the board and the player-manager who had won the league in 1967 in such great style. Fox was eventually granted free release by Dundalk in March 1968. That wasn’t the end of the matter and Dundalk travelled to the Market’s Field to play Limerick, who had signed Fox as player-manager, a few weeks later. The match ended in such violence that the referee was hit
by a stone and had to be taken to hospital while the Dundalk team had to be smuggled out of the ground by 12 Gardai to what remained of the team bus. Even after this great escape, the deceived Limerick fans had to be shown the empty dressing room by the Gardai to convince them to disperse. What caused this outbreak of craziness? In the 62nd minute of the match, Alan Fox had an exchange with Dundalk’s Derek Stokes which resulted in Stokes receiving a hefty thump. While both teams became engaged in a ‘schmozzle’ – Dundalk keeper Kevin Blount made his way up the pitch and floored Fox. All hell broke loose. Dundalk won the match 3-2 – and Blount, while escaping a red card, had his act witnessed by a Garda and was eventually sentenced to a month’s imprisonment for assault – only to have the verdict overturned on appeal!
1968: Trouble on the Terraces: Part I
Kevin Blount received a six-month ban for the Fox affair – and made his next appearance as a substitute in the 2-1 win over DOS Utrecht in the European Fairs Cup when he replaced the injured Pat Lawless. After conceding nine goals in two matches in the weeks that followed, Blount never played for Dundalk again. Incidentally, Dundalk still managed to win both games – a 7-4 win over Limerick and a 7-5 win over St Pat’s. The main story from the Utrecht match in Holland was the sad case of Patsy ‘Tootsie’ McKeown. His 11-year Dundalk career that saw him amass 334 appearances and win two league titles came to an end in the fourth minute of that match when he broke his leg. He received a rapturous reception on the pitch before the second
leg match in Oriel Park. Dundalk won the match 2-1 in extra-time and 3-2 on aggregate thanks to a thunderous 15-yard header from Jimmy Morrissey but supporters could have been deprived of such a momentous if the FAI and the cabal of Dublin clubs had got their way. Up to this season, the Irish representatives in the ‘InterCities Fairs Cup’ were the highest placing team in the Shield competition who had not already qualified for either the European Cup or Cup Winners Cup. The place had been reserved for Dublin clubs. So in 1965, for example, Shelbourne got the European spot despite finishing under Dundalk, Waterford and Cork Celtic. Dundalk administrators needed to overhaul that regulation in order to secure the nomination. The reward for beating DOS Utrecht was a tie against Glasgow Rangers. The first leg in Ibrox was marred by sectarian abuse directed at the Dundalk players and 200 or so Dundalk fans who made the trip. The Scottish media reported that the “foul mouthed fans set a new record for obscenity” and Rangers chairman John Lawrence issued a statement apologising for the supporters behaviour and how “we are sick and tired of being embarrassed
by these morons”. The return match in Oriel Park was also a fraught affair with the Gardai engaged in running battles inside and outside the ground with Rangers fans who had travelled from Northern Ireland. The local courts were busy dealing with the aftermath including a bizarre tale of a pub whose visiting clients from Belfast refused to leave the premises until the Gardai sang them the national anthem.
1969: Shankly’s Touch of Class
The 10-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield in the 1969 Fairs Cup is Dundalk’s biggest ever defeat. Tommy McConville recounted what happened after the match in an interview conducted in 2011: “I remember after the game. The press were hovering around and we had swapped shirts. We shut the door and just wanted to be left alone. There was a knock at the door. Hughie Fleming was Liam’s assistant and he shouted “Who is it?”. We heard this strong Scottish accent responding: “Bob Shankly”. “We opened the door and he had a trolley. Two crates of beer were placed in the middle of the dressing room. He said “don’t worry about that. Nobody would have lived with my team out there tonight. Get stuck

BIG INTERVIEW
GREG SLOGGETT are highly regarded in their attitude, the like way that they conduct themselves and it stands to me that previous players have done that, it stands to me that the previous players have put in good performances and hopefully I can continue that tradition so more UCD players can benefit from it. DFCM: You had a year with Derry City, how was that?

quite a few here over the years. There have been plenty of players who have gone on from UCD while I was there too so I have been aware of it and it’s a good path to go down. It’s one of those that you look at as a
good omen. I did the same going to Derry City as well but you have to go and do the work yourself to go down that route. You can only move on if you work hard and your performances are good enough. UCD players

GS: It was pretty good at Derry. It was my first experience really of being away from home for a prolonged period of time just for football. So that was a test in itself but I enjoyed the experience. Playing thirty something games of Premier Division football and achieving European qualification is something which was great for me. It was the perfect year for me to build on the time that I had had at UCD. I owe my move to Dundalk off the back of my performances for Derry City and I am grateful to the club and it was a year that I really enjoyed with a great group of lads and a great club in the

experiences. They are amazing to be a part of and especially the win over Sheriff last year. The big thing about Europe is that it is a test of fitness and last week was exactly that. It was tough but a great win in the end and it was great to get through. We want

to make sure that we finish the job and get through DFCM: Finally, what are your thoughts on tonight’s opponents? GS: They are a good side, you don’t get to this stage of the competition without being a good side and from what we have seen of them they are good with the ball and press without so we know we are going to have a difficult game. It’s a Europa League playoff and they are the kinds of matches that you want to be involved in and we are looking forward to it, we would love to create another bit of history by qualifying for the group stages again and hopefully we can.

TURBULENT TIMES Trouble started to brew in October 1982 when Barry experienced a bout of dizzy spells after being hit in the stomach by a ball during a League Cup tie with St Patrick’s Athletic. It later transpired that the blow had irritated cancer cells in his body. Two months later, and with the dizziness showing no signs of abating, he was sent to the Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda for a check-up. An infection in the lower abdomen was the diagnosis and in January 1983, Barry had infected cells removed and sent for analysis. A course of radium treatment at St Luke’s Hospital in Dublin was prescribed and Barry would stay in his sister’s house in Finglas four days a week, returning home to Dundalk at the weekends where he would go and watch his teammates in action. Life took another vicious turn when his father died on February 11th, 1983 and two months later, on April 22nd, he underwent a check-up in the
Lourdes. The results weren’t good and a new form of treatment called chemotherapy was advised with Barry assured that it had a 100% success rate. Three days later in St Luke’s, he was told otherwise, and the word ‘cancer’ was mentioned for the first time. Up to that point, he was told he had a disease. For five days a month between May and August 1983, he endured the nauseating effects of chemotherapy but he kept himself strong and fit, taking part in five-a-side matches, training with Dundalk teammates McConville and Richie Blackmore, and even lining out in the Summer League. In September 1983, Barry received the perfect 21st birthday present: the all-clear. He had beaten his most difficult opponent. Football became his focus once again and on October 20th, 1983, just short of a year since his last appearance, he made an emotional return to the Dundalk team in a Leinster Senior Cup tie against Athlone 54
Town. With Jim McLaughlin now at Shamrock Rovers, Barry had to try and impress new manager John Dempsey, who lasted less than a season in the hot seat before he was replaced by Tommy Connolly. The arrival of Turlough O’Connor in May 1985, however, gave Dundalk fresh impetus. At the end of the 1985/86 season, ‘Turlie’ wanted to put Barry on the transfer list. Whether it was a psychological move or not, the shock tactic worked and Barry, now married to his sweetheart Adrienne, daughter of former Dundalk chairman Enda McGuill, responded with his finest season in years as the Lilywhites finished runners-up in the league and FAI Cup, won the League Cup and secured a place in Europe. They went one better in 1988 with Barry an integral part of a memorable league and cup doublewining side. I’ll never forget the day himself and Dessie Gorman brought the trophies - remember the big gold ball? to the Redeemer.

1988/89 The 1988/89 season started promisingly for Barry and Dundalk. As league champions, O’Connor’s men were handed a crack at Yugoslavian kingpins Red Star Belgrade in the European Cup. Barry played in the first leg at Oriel Park where Red Star produced an exhibition, winning 5-0, but missed the second leg with a calf injury. On home soil, Dundalk were still the team to beat, losing just once in their opening 23 domestic games. The sole defeat was a telling one with McLaughlin’s Derry City cruising to the League Cup with a 4-0 demolition job at Oriel Park in October 1988. Off the field, Barry made his foray into the business world with Mr Ridley’s officially opening a month later. To this day, it remains a landmark of the town. After scoring what proved to be his final goal for the club in the 1-1 draw away to Shamrock Rovers on November 25th, the last of Barry’s 15 appearances of the campaign came on December 4th in the less than glamorous surroundings of St Colman’s Park. O’Connor’s double winners
slumped to their first league defeat of the season against a Cobh Ramblers side that had failed to win in any of their previous 13 outings. A groin strain was cited as the reason for his absence but, unfortunately, there were more malevolent forces at work. A routine medical visit suggested he had a heart murmur. Further tests were carried out at the Mater Hospital in Dublin and bad news followed from Professor Declan Sugrue. “I’m afraid you have a growth on the right ventricle of your heart,” he told Barry. “If it’s malignant, you’ll need more chemotherapy. If it’s benign, we’ll have to operate.” In January 1989, Dundalk’s bid for back-to-back titles suffered a heavy blow when they were beaten 2-0 by Derry City at the Brandywell. Days later, Barry - who was pictured before the game with the injured Terry Eviston - underwent major surgery to remove a cyst from a valve on his heart. After weeks of immense pain and trauma which saw his lungs collapse and infection set in, Barry was informed that a tiny particle of malignancy had appeared in the heart biopsy and that chemotherapy was needed. 55
