It was probably around the summer of 1991, I guess. The country was still cresting the wave of post-Italia ‘90 euphoria and football was the only show in town.
At this stage I would have been around eight. I was lining out every week in the maroon colours of Seatown FC in the Dundalk Schoolboys League.
Back then a number of the coaches and managers within the club, at various levels, including one Brian McGuinness (a tremendous ambassador for underage football in the town and county) were producing a club newsletter every two weeks which included match reports and photographs of the club’s teams and their endeavours; along with fundraising news and the club’s lotto results.
