History

UCD are the only university team, representing University College Dublin, to play at the league level in the Republic of Ireland, and is the only university team to compete in the top division of a national league in Western Europe. It is also noted for its highly-regarded scholarship scheme, which gives players the chance to combine senior football with the opportunity to earn a college degree. The club was founded in 1895 as the Catholic University Medical School Football Club. They began playing regular games the following year. A First XI played College games against other Universities and a Second XI entered outside competitions. The club was founder members of the Leinster Junior League in 1896 and reached the semi-finals of the Leinster Senior Cup in 1897. The club became University College Dublin when the new University annexed the Medical school in 1908. UCD won the inaugural Intervarsities competition the Collingwood Cup in 1914 and added the Irish Intermediate Cup the following year beating Portadown 2-1 in a replayed final. When the Free State was formed in 1921 and the new Football Association was formed UCD participated in the Preliminary round against fellow non-League team Shamrock Rovers in November 1921. The game took place in Windy Arbour and the Hoops won 6-2. UCD were invited to join the League of Ireland in 1922, but had to turn it down on the basis of not being able to field a team in the Shield competition in September as the Academic year didn't commence till October. A second Intermediate Cup triumph happened in 1945 when UCD beat fellow future League of Ireland members Cobh Ramblers 4-2 in the final. UCD appeared in the FAI Cup in the 1930's, 1940's and 1950's, their final appearance as a non-League outfit coming in 1957 when Cork Athletic beat UCD 4-2 in the Mardyke. University College Dublin - National University of Ireland, Dublin - more commonly University College Dublin (UCD) - is Irelands largest university, with over 20,000 students. ... Shamrock Rovers FC is a Irish football club playing in the Football League of Ireland. ...

In the 1970s, the club embarked on a series of landmark tours, becoming the first Irish team to play in places like Jordan, China and Australia. A second invitation to join the League of Ireland was accepted on July 22 1979, when Cork Celtic were expelled for not having their financial affairs in order. Theo Dunne was appointed first team coach, and apart from a brief spell at Home Farm 1990-94, he was in charge of first team affairs until he retired as coach in 2001. Dr. Tony O'Neill who was general manager when the club joined the League remained in that role until his untimely death from cancer in October 1999. Club: Cork Celtic Cork Celtic F.C.. Years: 1951 - 1979 (1951 - 1959 as Evergreen United) City: Cork City Honours: League Championship 1973. ...

The club struggled initially in the league after their election, never finishing higher than twelfth in the 16-team league, although they did win the Leinster Senior Cup in December 1980, beating St Patrick's Athletic FC 2-1 in the final. However, important changes within the club in 1983 marked a dramatic upturn in fortunes. The previously amateur club turned semi-pro, and players outside of the college were allowed to represent the first team. This is still the situation today, although in practice most of the players are either students or ex-students. By the end of the 1983/84 season, UCD had won the FAI Cup, beating the great Shamrock Rovers 2-1 after a replay. Shamrock Rovers weren’t to lose another game in the competition for over three years – until they lost to UCD in 1988!

That win saw UCD qualify for European competition – the old Cup Winners' Cup – for the first time. The draw pitted them against Everton, then one of the leading sides in England and boasting players of the calibre of Neville Southall, Kevin Sheedy, Graham Sharp, Peter Reid and Andy Gray. The home leg was played in Tolka Park, then leased by Home Farm F.C., and a crowd of 9,000 – many times UCD’s average league crowd – saw the Students come away with a scarcely believable 0-0 draw. Another remarkable performance was to follow two weeks later as a solitary Graham Sharp goal gave Everton a 1-0 win. Joe Hanrahan skimmed the bar for the Students late on; had he scored, UCD would have progressed on away goals – as it was, Everton went on to win the entire competition, as well as the English title.

That season saw UCD finish fourth in the league, but they were then forced to release many of their best players due to financial difficulties. Joe Hanrahan signed for Manchester United for IR£30,000, Ken O’Doherty moved to Crystal Palace and Alan O’Neill left for Dundalk. The team were relegated in 1985/86 with eight points, a record low in the Premier Division. Despite this, in 1987, UCD won the World Collegiate Championships in New Mexico, USA.

Promotion in 1988/89 was followed by an immediate relegation, and it was 1994/95 before UCD were to return to the Premier. They did so by recording a then record points tally for the First Division, also breaking the record for most goals scored and fewest goals conceded. In 1999/00, a late burst saw UCD finish fourth in the league and qualify for the InterToto Cup. Their opponents were the Bulgarian side PFC Velbazhd Kyustendil, who boasted a couple of full Bulgarian internationals, including Ilian Stoianov, who would go on to represent his country in the 2004 European Championships. UCD kept up their proud European record with a pulsating 3-3 draw in the first leg in Belfield Park, before drawing 0-0 in Bulgaria to bow out on away goals. History unfortunately repeated itself as the Students once again nearly sneaked victory as they hit the post late on.

In 2001, Paul Doolin, one of the most successful players in the League of Ireland, took over as manager from former player Martin Moran. After enjoying a successful first season, the team only just avoided relegation in 2002/03 and was eleven points adrift when Doolin left to take over at Drogheda United in September 2003. Pete Mahon was immediately installed as the new manager, and UCD nearly staged an incredible Houdini act, losing four games in 16, closing the gap at the bottom to two points and recording the highest points total for a relegated team.

2004 saw more of the same, as UCD, together with Finn Harps, smashed the First Division points record and were promoted with ease. They marked their return to the Premier Division with a highly creditable 1-1 draw away to two-time reigning champions Shelbourne. There was a bright point in College's indifferent season when they got into the League Cup final after a 2-1 victory over Shelbourne in the semi-final at Tolka Park. They went on to lose the final 2-1 to Derry City at Belfield Park. A season that started with UCD as contenders for the drop ended relatively well with UCD well clear of the drop-zone in 9th place.

2006 was one of UCD's most successful season in a few years. Despite been knocked out of the League Cup in the first round, "The College" recovered well and finished the season in 6th place and reached the quarter-finals of the FAI Cup. The performances of many in the squad did not go unnoticed, with Darren Quigley and Gary Dicker establishing themselves in the Irish U-21 team. Quigley then went one better and became on Irish B international, when he appeared as a substitute against Scotland B in November. UCD players also attracted interest from many British clubs. Quigley has had trials at many clubs across the water, Stockport County paid €56,000 for Dicker in May 2007^[1] and Patrick Kavanagh signed for Birmingham City after impressing on trial there.

Many famous players have played for UCD down the years. Former Irish international Kevin Moran, who would later play for Manchester United, Sporting de Gijón and Blackburn Rovers played in the League of Ireland B and was signed for Manchester United from UCD’s graduate team, Pegasus. Moran also won an All-Ireland Gaelic football winner’s medal with Dublin in 1976 while at UCD, as would Jason Sherlock nineteen years later. The Leeds United legend and record goalscorer Peter Lorimer played three games before returning to England for a final spell with Leeds. Gavin Whelan (nephew of Ronnie Whelan) and Pat Jennings (son of Northern Irish international Pat Jennings) played for UCD in the most recent relegation season. Brian Lenihan played in the 1955 FAI Cup tie against Sligo Rovers and later ran for President of Ireland. Hugo McNeill scored 46 goals in 1978/79, but went on to greater things with the Irish rugby team, winning the Triple Crown in 1985 and playing in the 1987 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. Former Sky Sports and current Setanta Sports pundit Paul Dempsey played for one season before taking up a job with the BBC. Dave Norman played senior international football for Canada while at UCD and went on to play in the 1986 World Cup, and many players have received youth caps.
