Official Cork City FC/LOI thread!

[Herbert]

City played Spurs, United, Celtic, Leeds and Swindon in summer friendlies at Musgrave Park 1989/90/91. I'm sure there were others too. Maybe Everton??? I can't quite remember.

They played Bayern in the UEFA Cup in September 1991 also at Musgrave Park.

The Man City and Southampton games were played at Cork Con, weirdly enough. I doubt there's barely been a Soccer match there since.

Great times to be a kid / teenager. Henry's at the weekends too. We were spoiled!

I remember coventry and chelsea out in bishopstown. Swansea and stoke at the cross . Must be more .

I saw City play Bolton in around 2005. It was the Carl Davenport testimonial

Big sam was managing Bolton, and they had Jay Jay Okocha and Kevin Nolan playing

I remember after a ccfc v Chelsea friendly around 91,
Two girls from ballyphehane were killed in a crash, two Chelsea players were in the car,

No way?
Feck that’s sad

Fairly sure Eddie Newton was one of the players.

I saw Shelbourne play Deportivo la Coruña in a 3rd round Champions League qualifier in Landsdowne Road. My only time going to a match there before it became the Aviva.

It was 0-0 and they were one match away from the group stages. They got thrashed then over in Spain

 

[Lee Bushwacker]

Cool enough fixture tonight

Shelbourne vs Crystal Palace in the Conference League.

I'm trying to think of other times Premier League teams have played a European match in Ireland.

Just Shamrock vs Spurs and Dundalk vs Arsenal I think? At least in the PL era.

Liverpool played in Dundalk around 1983/84 in the EC.

Liverpool played in Dundalk around 1983/84 in the EC.

I didn't know that either. There's a cool thread in this.

I'd be a big fan of Toni Polster, and he scored in Turners Cross while playing for FC Köln.

There's so much football history in both Cork and Ireland. Sher didn't George Best play here for a while too.

Shamrock Rovers vs Real Madrid is another one.
