My da was at the game and remembers both teams coming onto the pitch together side by side, the first time he and his mates had seen this happen. He thinks it was to avoid the visitors being booed but at the same time doesn't remember there being protesters within Dalymount itself to do the booing. Things like this question the received wisdom of a homogeneous docile population of Mass-attending Catholics populating a monochrome Ireland of the 1950s. More please! Great post.

My uncle went to the game and he told me that in his workplace they were certain he was going to be excommunicated for attending. But, he was a fan - he played for Stella Maris in his time - and he wanted to see the Yugoslavs play. Chers Thos.

Incidentally I was brought up a couple of hundred yards from Dalymount.
