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.

Tony ‘Toccy’ O’Connor is a Dalymount Park legend with incredible stories to match his glittering League of Ireland career.
The Ballymun man reveals how former Ireland boss Brian Kerr reacted to his decision to leave St Pat’s - and what he told him to do with his tea and biscuits.
He also reveals how he had another tiff with future Ireland gaffer, Stephen Kenny, over demands to train on Christmas Day that eventually led to his departure from Bohs.
And he lifts the lid on what went on behind the scenes the year Bohemians, Shels and Cork City were involved in a three way play off to win the League - and the most unexpected place the Bohs players disappeared to for FOUR DAYS while it was going on.
This is your LOIfe is brought to you by The Irish Sun.
The series is produced by APodcastGeek.
It was written by and executively produced by Neil Cotter and Nicola Bardon.
