Ed McGinty was the hero as Rovers won their FAI Cup quarter-final in Drogheda on penalties. But what about teams and cup competitions that no longer exist? Because that's the theme of our author series this week - purely a coincidence that Rovers travel to Turner's Cross on Friday - featuring Philip O'Rourke's 'Forgotten Clubs in Great Britain and Ireland', and Simon Turner's book called 'Tinpot', with Jim Conroy pitching in with his own memories from Rovers' games against Cork Celtic and Cork Hibs back in the day, and in defunct Irish tournaments like the Shield and Texaco Cup.

We've got thoughts on the Pat Scully show, the Santa Clara and Drogheda wins and the European draw with Prof's birthday in Prague ahead of Friday's Cup quarter-final. And in an international week where Pico looks set to become the only Irish representation at next year's World Cup, relive the infamous 1982 campaign with Paul Little's 'Shattered Dreams, Sliding Doors', before another author, Barry Flynn joins us to talk 'The Little Book of Irish Football',

It's our 2006 season special, with then-manager Pat Scully making a guest appearance in the Four Provinces in front of a live audience. Pat remembers assembling a young team from scratch to take Rovers up from the First Division at the first attempt, training at Stanaway Park up the road in Crumlin, the importance of the opening day win over Dundalk, his speech in Cobh after winning the title, Cup final suits and the Arsenal influence, getting a Bohs and Sunderland B team manager sacked, the Waterford bus story and more, Rovers fans in his taxi over the years and more.
