Tales From The East Stand

Stephen Bradley, Glenn Cronin and Stephen McPhail are our special guests on the last ever episode of the podcast. 'The Holy Trinity' look back on the greatest season in the club's history (from 28 minutes), recorded last month in front of a crowd of well over a hundred people at the Four Provinces pub in Crumlin and/or Kimmage. Then, after a chat about Hamrun Spartans' brass band, it's a fond farewell from your hosts as we answer fans' questions and reflect on nine years of TFTES being on the air and all the incredible people Gary P and Prof met along the way. Merry Christmas and Keep On Hoopin'.

[23/2/23 re-uploaded] There's Saturday's league opener in Sligo to review, Ronan Finn vs Leon Pohls vs Sean Hoare in the quiz and the "Members Only Corner" as Winston Meets The Gaffneys - the return of 70s player Robbie to the podcast along with his son Jason.

[30/10/19 re-uploaded] Hoops legends Mick Leech and Paddy Mulligan drop by to talk the six in a row, playing and scoring in FAI Cup finals, the summer of '67 in Boston, making their debuts for Ireland together and what they hope Rovers will do in Sunday's final. Continuing into the 1970s, Paddy also discusses his time at Chelsea and Panathinaikos and coming within a thrown bun of becoming Ireland manager while Mick recalls three replays in three days against Athlone, his winner in the League Cup final and he explains how he's definitely not a winger. The last 40 minutes of the show is our usual reviews and news ahead of the big day.
