Shamrock Rovers XI Vs Brazil – The 50th Anniversary Discussion

Shamrock Rovers XI Vs Brazil – The 50th Anniversary Discussion

Join us on Monday evening July 3rd at 6pm to mark the 50th anniversary of the historic game that saw an All-Ireland team take on World Champions Brazil in Lansdowne Road.

Played at a time of huge political upheaval in Northern Ireland, the concept was so controversial that the side had to be called a ‘Shamrock Rovers XI’.

The match programme cover

Our Football History Walking Tour pair of Aodhán Ó Ríordáin and Gary Cooke will lead a discussion with historian Cormac Moore and ex-International Paddy Mulligan who played in the famous game.

We will also have artefacts from the game on display on the evening.
