Eamon Dunphy

kind of one of the seminal pieces.

It's up there with, if you ever want to dig something out of the locker, the Eamon Dunphy piece on the Jack Charlton, the team that Jack built.

Another absolute tour de force.

Yeah.

I don't know if you know, but there was a...

Eamon Dunphy.

Eamon Dunphy, yeah.

So Eamon Dunphy came out and said, Rod Liddle, is that your man who left his wife and ran off with a young one? And this just became part of Irish lore.

It's his one true great epitaph, really.

and the best thing about it is just true he did leave his wife and run off with young and not not only that but he did that by going back he was on his honeymoon and he flew home left his wife out there and left her for a young one so that's that's that's literally that's yeah that is top level house right

It was actually exactly 10 years ago the other day, and Dundalk were so close to the Champions League group stages, Johnny.

Yeah, I mean, you, you have to go back to this time, I think in the home leg Eamonn Dunphy was, around then, Eamonn Dunphy was, was extolling Dundalk.

And Eamonn Dunphy had been so dismissive, like, in a, in a really unfair way about the League of Ireland.

Yeah.

Partly because if you read, like, The Rocky Road, I think his second book, he was obviously bitter about his Shamrock Rovers experience.

Like, we want to talk about it.

You can't buy Eamon Dunphy's Busby book.

Perhaps the finest thing he did.

I had two copies of it.

And I'm just, again, Sam Burns, nothing player.

Full Eamon Dunphy here, nothing player.

I'm sorry, he just

isn't.

And then ask you a career done.

So I've got some more quotes from a footballer who was playing in London in the 70s, Eamon Dunphy.

He's an Irish footballer.

Have you heard of him before? Dunphy.
