In this special episode of The 1895 Podcast, we sit down with one of Shelbourne's most iconic figures, Dermot Keely. Known for his no-nonsense style both on and off the pitch, Dermot takes us through his incredible career as a player and manager.

From leading Shelbourne to double glory to returning when the club was on its knees. Dermot chats about life under Ollie Byrne, his new book, and how newspapers served as social media for the great football rivalries of the 90s and 00s.

Join us for the upcoming launch of Dermot’s new book, "Better Without A Ball". The launch event will take place at Tolka Park on Wednesday, 25th September at 7:30 PM. Dermot will be joined by first team manager Damien Duff for a special evening celebrating his career and stories from the book.

Free admission for the event, and the book will be available for purchase on the night for €20, with cash and Revolut accepted.

Join us for this special episode, and don’t miss the chance to meet one of Shels' greatest legends at the book launch event.
