Harrison McCloy is the sixth former Bohemian FC player that I can find listed as having been killed during WWI.
McCloy was a player for Bohemians from 1902-05 and served as a club Vice President from the 1905-06 season through to 1911-12.
More on it here abohemiansportinglife.com/2016/06/29/b...
Lovely piece on Dublin football and beer, featuring some familiar names if youโve read my book, โShades of Greenโ

In the course of writing this I was LOI-pilled.
Absolutely radicalised by the Greatest League in the World
The ailing world of Dublin football and the misunderstood world of modern beer got bored of being forgotten and clubbed together. The result? Flourishing scenes for both.
@eoghanwalshbxl.bsky.social heads to Dublin to drink beer, watch Bohs, and find out more.

I'd highly recommend any of the books by my friend Chris Lee from the @outsidewrite.bsky.social blog & podcast.
His latest effort, Shades of Green, is a part history, part travelogue of football in Ireland with some great contributors involved.
Bohemians have said they are aiming to teach pupils about the Irish experience of immigration so they have a better understanding of the situation immigrants here have, and that they are doing this through sport to make it more accessible to the children

Ian Harte when he hears that hard-up Premier League owners like Jim Ratcliffe, Clearlake Capital or the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund just got asked for a 10% sell-on clause by a League of Ireland club.

An ask for @bfcdublin & @LeagueofIreland folks. Am doing a bit of work to try and track down surviving members of Bohs 1974-75 title winning team to commemorate the 50th anniversary of their triumph.
Have got in touch with 5-6 already but appreciate any help getting others.
Not the best photo I know but this Shamrock was carved by Rovers fan out of timber salvaged from Glenmalure Park.
On display in the Little Museum of Dublin.
Thanks to @footballandwar.bsky.social for carrying my post on a brief history of football and sectarianism in Northern Ireland
It's a theme that's unavoidable in the Ulster chapter of my upcoming book, and there are way more positive stories in the book

Powerful front page from L'Humanitรฉ on Jean Marie Le Pen: 'His Profession Was Hatred'. The dagger pictured was recovered at the scene of the brutal torture and murder of Ahmed Moulay in Algiers in 1957. One of multiple pieces of evidence showing Le Pen was a torturer.

While Ferencvรกros are in the news in Ireland, as well as the significant right wing following they enjoy, here's a short video about two of their former players who were anti-fascist martyrs who saved hundreds from the holocaust.
