Last year we did a display of Damian Duff's match worn shirts fomr his various clubs across his career - it went well for him this year! 🙂
We will have a fascinating FAI Cup Final themed display this year and as usual hundreds of jerseys across clubs and countries all over the world, so well worth a visit no matter who you support! ... See MoreSee Less

DID YOU KNOW? When the @bokrugby visited Lansdowne Road in 2000, necessitating an @irishrugby "away" jersey, @canterburynz produced a wonderful commemorative jersey marking 125 years since Ireland first played an international test (against @englandrugby in 1875). The green and white hoops were also worn by the Wolfhounds, the Irish invitational "barbarians-esque" XV, for several decades. ... See MoreSee Less

@followers what's your favourite throwback kit used in any sport by an irish international or club side?
Great kit👍
I have that shirt but didn't know the story behind it.
The Olympics take a back seat tomorrow to the mighty Camogie ladies in Croke Park! Cork Camogie v Galway Camogie is quite the rivalry, they had played each other 3 rimes before Galway got their first final win against the Rebels in 1996, at the first standalone Camogie final to have more than 10000 in recorded attendance! Laois Camogie Official Tipperary Camogie & Kilkenny Camogie feature in the Intermediate and Junior finals. Best of luck ladies! ... See MoreSee Less
@followers The mens olympic football final was on yesterday, and the womens are tonight. 100 years ago the Irish football team qualified for the olympics in what is now recognised as the first official internationals of the Irish Free State (Republic of Ireland) FAIreland team. However, did you know we were also represented in 1904 when the amazing mayo man Joe Lydon won the silver as player manager of the USA soccer team? To prove he was no slouch, he also won a bronze medal in the boxing, a unique feat! ... See MoreSee Less
Edwin Flack won 800 and 1500 running at Athens Games and Silver in the Mixed doubles tennis, if that the unique feat you’re claiming. I’m sure others have won medals in different sports at same Olympics. Snowy Baker was diver and boxer at 1908 Olympic s.
We're off at The Back Page until 3pm - a great selection as usual with loads of new stock and good craic. Cash and card welcome, get yourself kitted out for summer, the five a.side ot training or just general casual wear! Adults kids boys and girls alike all catered for! ... See MoreSee Less

Big thanks to everyone who came down to our see us at the Birr Vintage Week & Arts Festival today. A fantastic day had, really great event with big congrats to the amazing organisers and all involved in staging it. Even a few rain showers couldn't spoil the proceedings.
We do it all again tomorrow Sunday 4th August at The Back Page in Phibsboro, Dublin from 12-3pm, free-in as always. There will be some cracking shirts and streetwear on the racks, so pop in and grab a classic jersey, pizza or pint, in whatever order you prefer! ... See MoreSee Less
Congrats to Fintan McCarthy & Paul O'Donovan on another Gold 🚣♀️🥇Special congrats to Paul on becoming the 4th Irish athlete (not the first as RTÉ News is reporting) to win medals at 3 Olympics after John Flanagan (1900/04/08) Martin Sheridan (1904/06/08) & Matt McGrath (1908/12/24) @followers ... See MoreSee Less
How did Martin Sheridan win a medal in 1906 ? I'm. Guessing this is a miss print on the date and also they are technically right he is the first to do it solely representing Ireland
Martin Sheridan and Matt McGrath were athletes that had their abilities created in the USA. Martin Sheridan never competed in Ireland, Matt McGrath much the same. John Flanagan had a good record before leaving but to all intents and purposes these lads as well as Paddy Ryan and certainly McDonald were Anerican athletes competing for the USA but Irish born. RTE absolutely correct.
The Irish Whales… with Irish athletes so prominent in weight throwing in the early parts the 20th century from John Flanagan to Pat (the Doc) O’Callaghan, if always amazes me why we haven’t concentrated in that discipline since… I think that natural strength is there but it needs to be harnessed and coached
Great excitement in the All Ireland Ladies Football final is on this Sunday, as Kerry look to pull clear of Cork with a 12th title (their last being in 1993) and Galway look for only their 2nd title (after first winning in 2004).
In 2006, Cork were similarly aiming for only their 2nd ever title - they won it and went onto to complete an incredible 12 titles in 13 seasons!
Anyone going to the match can feel free to drop into our vintage market in the The Back Page beforehand, with plenty of original retro GAA shirts available (and other sports!) ... See MoreSee Less

Armagh added their names to the history books yesterday along with their previous all ireland winners in 2002. But that wasnt all Armagh had to cheer about in 2002, as Lurgan lady Geraldine Heaney won the Olympic Gold on the Canadanian Ice Hockey team (having won silver in 1998) & became the 3rd woman inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2013 😀

100 Years ago! Pity we didn't qualify this year. The pioneers 🙂With the 100 year anniversary imminent of the formation of the Football Association of the Irish Free State (later to become the Football Association of Ireland), we thought it was an opportune time to share this rarely seen (we certainly couldn't recall seeing it anywhere before!) photo of Ireland at the 1924 Olympics, believed to be before the game v Holland.
It may well be the first ever photo of an Irish team in tournament play in front of the tricolour (and what a massive tricolour it was!). While the IFS wore St Patrick's blue in the opening game Bulgaria (the photo of which is a more common picture seen from time to time), in this picture the jerseys appear to be green.
Sadly, while he traveled in the squad as a reserve player to the Olympics, Bohemians and Irish rugby legend (and all round cad) Ernie Crawford is not included in the picture 🙁 ... See MoreSee Less
