About this episode
Mick Leech and Paddy Mulligan discuss their football careers and experiences, including significant matches and their hopes for Rovers in the upcoming final.
[30/10/19 re-uploaded] Hoops legends Mick Leech and Paddy Mulligan drop by to talk the six in a row, playing and scoring in FAI Cup finals, the summer of '67 in Boston, making their debuts for Ireland together and what they hope Rovers will do in Sunday's final. 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. The last 40 minutes of the show is our usual reviews and news ahead of the big day.
