The League of Ireland is on a roll - but it hasn’t always been this way.
The domestic game has so often veered from crisis to catastrophe over the course of its imperfect history.
Yet it survived, and flourished.
In this series, veteran Irish Sun chief sports writer Neil O’Riordan will take you back in time to when pitches were awful, terraces empty, and tackles over the top.
He will meet the legends of the domestic game to discuss the moments which defined them, made their careers - and the legend of the league.
The gloves are off, and nothing is off limits.
This is your LOIfe.
Episode 1 premieres on Thursday February 13 wherever you get your podcasts.
