Larry Rogan
Larry can’t remember a time when he didn’t follow Bohs! His Dad was a fan from his teenage years, when he started following them after the war around the mid-1940s as his family home was not far from Dalymount in Richmond Cottages, just off the North Circular Road.
Larry’s first real memory of going to a Bohs match was in 1966. He used to get the bus into town and get either the 19 or 10 from O’Connell street. But on that day, the street was blocked off due to Nelson’s Pillar being blown up.
He enjoyed supporting the club in the 1970s and one game that sticks out is the 3-0 demolition of a Johnny Giles-led Shamrock Rovers on a rain-soaked day in Dalymount, winning the league the season we hammered everyone, Home Farm 8-0 being the biggest of them. The European nights were always special then too – the first Rangers game, the riot at the Newcastle game standing out.
The 1980s brought Jackie Jameson, Rocky O’Brien and a host of other legends; Rangers in ’84, listening to Philip Green on a crackly AM radio, trips to Dundee and Aberdeen. There were no trophies, but life-long friendships were formed.
The 1990s brought Larry even closer to Bohs – a little comment to Oliver Ward landed him in the announcer’s seat. His first three games were the 1990 centenary celebration friendlies – 8,500 v Aston Villa, 20,000 v Man Utd and 22,000 v Celtic. No pressure then!
The highs then were winning the FAI Cup in ’92, his Dad driving to Dalymount and beeping all the way across the city before celebrating in the club bars. Larry lost his beloved father in 1996.
After Joe McGrath and his New Zealanders, Roddy Collins came in and created history. But Larry’s favourite memory was playing the Champions League music as we took on Bate Borisov in ’03 as Bohs tore them apart 3-0.
