Billy Sullivan & The Super Hoops - Shamrock Rovers (2001)

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'.

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.
