TFTES 187

from Tales From The East Stand · host Gary Parsons & Karl Reilly

Today we celebrate the five year anniversary of the podcast with the one and only Roddy Collins, for 90 minutes of entertainment. Roddy talks playing for Rovers in the 80s, Ricky McEvoy in a Donegal disco, his boxing champion brother Steve and receiving death treats at Irish League clubs. He explains leaving Dublin City in a relegation battle to manage Rovers in 2004, the drinking culture at the club and bingo nights. Roddy remembers Paddy McCourt when he opened his legs, the real Mick McCarthy, his suspension, Rovers' relegation and certain board members. Finally, we discuss the 6-4 in Santry, Malta, funny interactions with Hoops fans, who stopped him from getting work and what you can read in the buke.
