In the latest interview from our League of Ireland legends series, we speak to Shelbourne great Tony Sheridan, who spent his formative years with Coventry
Having missed out on the league title with Shelbourne on the final day of the 1998 season, Tony Sheridan was only too happy to help Damien Duff’s side not to suffer the same heartbreak in 2024.
The business end of the 2024 Premier Division campaign was approaching as Damien Duff’s Shelbourne hunted a first triumph in 18 years. They were so close they could almost taste it.
Having sat top of the table since May, the Reds managed to get over the line courtesy of Harry Wood’s late winner in Derry on the final day, a goal that snatched the title from Shamrock Rovers and finally brought it back to Tolka Park.
