TFTES 200

It's our 200th episode extravaganza~! This special show was recorded a couple of weeks ago in front of a live audience in the Irishtown House in Ringsend, the birthplace of Rovers. Everyone on our guest list is a local and they talk about what the Ringsend community means to them, beginning with current Rovers players Sean Kavanagh and Sean Gannon, who talk about growing up in the area, their careers and being on opposite sides of the 2019 FAI Cup final. Next up are our youngest guests and TFTES bus regulars, Sean Condron and Daniel Keogh (at 27 minutes), until legendary four-in-a-row goalkeeper Jody Byrne (from 39 mins) makes his long awaited debut on the podcast. Jody discusses replacing Alan O'Neill at the age of 19 and the highlights from his hugely successful spell at Milltown, when he twice won the club Player of the Year award in 1987 and 1989. He takes a question each from a new guest beside him, starting with 'Mooner' David Kiernan (51 mins) and his dad Richie (1 hour 15 mins). Then Ciaran Stafford (1 hour 30 mins) takes the hot seat before we hear a pre-recorded interview with Ben Stafford and Ed Saul (1 hour 40 mins), who talks the Pride of Ringsend Supporters' Club and that Cup final march with the iconic white horse. Finally, we chat to Justin Mason, even though he has moved to our neck of the woods in Crumlin now.
