Brilliant Hi.

[Stewy]

A brilliant programme tonight. Great to see Eugenio being interviewed, what a great supporter he is. Good also to see Claude Wilton in one of the clips. So many great memories especially of that glorious 1988/9 treble winning season. I was very moved to see Jim McLaughlin reacting to the footage of the 89 Cup Final replay. CITD.

Would anyone know names of that team that played Shamrock Rovers in the first friendly,would appreciate if someone had them.

What a great show. So many great memories. Even a side shot of getting Da Gamas autograph up the walls. Jim McLaughlins interview at end is so sad but what a man. Keeping religion and politics out of it. No better saying. And well done Eugenio. Great voice for our club. CTID

So many Derry City fans on twitter. So many local politicians all mad closet fans. Who knew.

At this rate we're going to need that MF stand completed ASAP and a few extra additions behind the goals too to accommodate them all.

Great to revisit all those amazing memories. That history is what makes us special.

A lot of footage came from Channel 4 doc. Passion Play.

What a night in front of the tube. Memories and delight! So much to cherish - proud Felix, the sea of support and not a bad word, the priceless kind letter from the IFA and Jim and Noel. Very proud of my old friend Eugenio who spoke so boldly and wisely with the trademark scarf over the shoulder. Get us back to the football I say

Heard him on Mark Patterson show still proudly flying his Red & White flag.

And some of the jerseys and training gear we had were just top drawer too.

Those red/white and blue/white tops of that era are what Derry is to me. Probably why i find it difficult to embrace anything else.

A brilliant show, really enjoyed all the historic footage. A credit to everyone involved!

I never heard that story about the shenanigans in the cemetery the morning of the Benfica game before, madness !

Guy was on with Mark Patterson discussing a film version and is looking for help with footage pictures etc.
