In Episode 27, we take a stroll down memory lane with Ireland’s arch controversialist Eamon Dunphy. Before he became a fixture on Irish television attacking the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Rod Liddle, Dunphy was once a footballer.
He is remembered more for his work as a journalist and television malcontent than for his performances for Ireland, Millwall, Reading and Charlton. But it was his 1976 diary Only a Game? that launched Dunphy’s media career, starting him out on a road that led him to becoming a fixture on Irish television channels for around 30 years.
The book itself is very much a classic of the footballer autobiography genre, described by Nick Hornby no less as the “best book about football I have ever read by someone who has actually played the game professionally”.
Join Al and Johnny for Episode 27 and find out if it really was just only a game for Dunphy and his fellow Millwall players in 1973.
