The History St Pat’s Pod 🔴⚪️

In this episode we chat about some the great Pat’s player nicknames from throughout our history, from Barreller to Bisto and beyond. We select the four midfielders for our Cult Heroes XI team, and we review the 1948/49 season for the Saints, as the rivalry with Shamrock Rovers really kicks off.

Don’t forget our upcoming 30 year anniversary reunion event with the team of 1995/96 taking place on Saturday May 9th.

A monster pod this week featuring an interview with 90s Pat’s star Brian Morrisroe. Brian chats at length about his journey in football, the famous 95/96 season, and his relationships with the likes of Liam Buckley and Brian Kerr.

We also review the seminal 1947/48 season, where a side dubbed ‘the greatest Pat’s team ever’ shocked Irish football and truly arrived on the national scene. We pick the four defenders on our Cult Heroes XI side, with plenty of notable names up for decision. We also answer some of your mailbag queries and have a giveaway - listen in!
