Episode 11 - Wrapping up the All-Time Saints XI, 1940/41 Season Review
After a short hiatus we finish up our All-Time Saints XI by naming a bench and manager. Lots of debates here - let us know what you think! We also look at one of the most important seasons in club history, 1940/41, when the Athletic of Inchicore came to national prominence for the first time. And we delve into a new challenge - can we name a Pat’s player from each of the 32 counties (spoiler alert - no, but we do better than you might expect). Feel free to help us out with more suggestions.We’ve news on upcoming Pat’s history events and a few bits more. Thanks to all our Patreon members whose support helps us get this pod out, and to the Patron Saints for sponsoring the podcast. 🔴⚪️🎙️
