Pictured: Hoops fan for 64 years Willie Rochford, Kilkenny Road, Castlecomer with grandson Leon at Tallaght Stadium to celebrate Shamrock Rovers four league titles in a row.

Willie, who had a distinguished playing career as goalkeeper from Marymount United, ’Comer United and St Pat’s United, has been following the Hoops since 1968 when they played in the Prince Grounds as part of a Deenside Festival.

His passion has clearly been passed on to his grandson Leon, who will undoubtedly be supporting the Rovers for many years to come!
