The striker began his career in 1963 with 1972/73 season and spent an extremely Limerick followed by a spell at Athlone Town, successful seven seasons at Dalymount. but it wasn’t until he joined Bohemians in In the league alone, he scored 106 goals in 1965 that he found his mark, quite literally, 165 appearances, in the process playing an by netting eight times in seven league integral role as Bohs secured two league gamess. His scoring prowess attracted titles (1974/75 and 1977/78), an FAI Cup interest cross channel and it was Fulham (1976), a League of Ireland Cup (1975) and with whom he lined out the following three second-place fnishes. season, however by the time the next Capped seven times for the international campaign began he was back in Ireland side, with two goals to his name, O’Connor with Dundalk. After a successful four year returned to Dalymount as manager in 1993, spell, he rejoined Bohs in time for the stepping down in 1998. editorial Welcome back to Friday Night Football, albeit not as we know and love it. So much has happened since our last league match programme in March, and indeed even since our second Special Editon produced a few weeks ago during the lull, for want of a beter word. It was certainly eerie watching Bohs play in front a paltry crowd last Sunday; a few occasional hollers and a bit of ‘industrial language’ as Darragh Maloney called it breaking the vacuum normally flled by the collectve voices of the paying masses. We’ll have to bare the silence for a Premier Division least one more game as the current restrictons have been maintained so 1923/24, 1927/28, 1929/30, it could be a while yet before some semblance of a crowd flters through 1933/34, 1935/36, 1974/75, the Dalymount gates once more. It’s frustratng of course but it’s also a 1977/78, 2000/01, 2002/03, necessity as the country hasn’t experienced something of this magnitude in 2008, 2009 a litle over a century. But bare it we must in the knowledge that we will be back to Dalymount as we grew to love it once more, one day. FAI Cup From a programme point of view it’s good to get back to rigid deadlines 1927/28, 1934/35, 1969/70, even if this editon was a litle bit up in the air structure wise. It’s an e-zine 1975/76, 1991/1992, only and distributed free to all members as a goodwill gesture for your 2000/01, 2008 staunch support over the last few months. We did investgate printng copies while these ‘behind closed doors’ games were the norm but League Cup decided against it untl people start fltering back to games in which case 1974/75, 1978/79, 2009 we’ll resume normal business. With the club having to dip into its savings, every litle helps. I would like to thank Justn Byrne and all at Just-Print for Setanta Cup their understanding and support with this decision, we’re eagerly looking 2010 forward to resuming our excellent working relatonship with them. One thing that we will be certainly sending to the printer is our special Leinster Cup match programme for our forthcoming Europa League match.

I suppose it’s appropriate the frst team to visit Dalymount after lockdown is Dundalk, if only because this is our 200th league game against the Lilywhites. Now in more normal times, that would mean the programme for tonight’s clash being a much sought after collector’s item. Regrettably there is no actual print run due to the current situation and you are reading these words on a screen rather • ‘So three cups of tea, milk, no sugar in a Neil Peart mug..’ than on some reconstituted foliage.

The performances of Canadian winger Kris Twardek in a Bohemian shirt before lockdown certainly made people sit up and take notce. Signed from Sligo last winter, our new o. 11 did not take much tme to setle, scoring his frst goal for Bohs in the 2-0 win over his former club in March and being involved in goals in Waterford and at home to Shelbourne too for good measure. Fresh out of the shutdown and raring to go like the rest of his team-mates, Kris is anxious to put more points on the board a er last weekend’s win in Cork as with only 12 games remaining there is absolutely no room for error for any team. An already ultra-compettve league has been made white hot by the reducton to 1 games and the visit of the defending champions tonight, following hard on Sunday’s long trip to Turner’s Cross means that it is full throtle from the o . But Kris would not have it any other way…
Kris Miss... “Like everyone I really missed the football since we paused,” he says. I went home to Canada with my girlfriend a er couple of weeks of but the club were brilliant as we all kept in regular contact, had individual programmes to follow as well as oom sessions. “It is hard to train on your own when you are involved in team sports as the dressing room is half the joy of playing and you just can’t replicate the spirit forged in training and of si ng in the dressing room together the day a er a big win. “So it is such a relief to be back, It is one of the rst treasured memories.
