We'll win the league for Kevin Hunt

Only saw about 10 games of him live, but he failed to disappoint in any

An outstanding player and fully deserves a good turnout. If I was at home I would definitely have gone along.

Some great faces past and present lining up for both sides so definitely to measly €15 in.

bohsman · 10-10-2008 12:36pm

Should be a good day. Fenlon Hunt would have been some centre mid partnership 10 years ago.

stovelid · 10-10-2008 1:21pm

Won't be able to make this but hope it goes well for him.

Hope Sparky doesn't get injured.

eirebhoy · 10-10-2008 4:33pm

Tommy Johnson, Alan Thompson, Paul Lambert, Neil Lennon. Have all these ex-Celts played with Hunt?

If he gets injured, I'm hunting you down after that.

Ex Bohemians player.

If you don't follow LoI, you won't know who he is probably.

Nalz · 11-10-2008 8:19am

So whos goin?

Anyone reckon the current champs will make an appearance on the pitch? Id say the likes of the Hearys and Murphy would be itching to play

Nalz · 12-10-2008 11:39am

So I'll be on my way to this in short, some of my family are comin up to Dublin today for a visit so they are coming along too

estebancambias · 12-10-2008 11:41am

Smashing day for it, and yeah i will be going. Any idea on the expected attendance?

applehunter · 12-10-2008 12:30pm

Jodi full - ppl standing on steps. Bout another 150 in the Des Kelly.

Bonner made some good saves but fumbled alot too. Jeff Kenna is seriously unfit. Staunton and McAllister played well. Thompson wasnt too bad.

Larkin and Joxer were the best for Bohs. Nutsy kept tryin the hollywood ball and it didnt come off. Crowe scored a nice goal. "Wooooooooooh Doyler" missed a sitter!

Great day - Hunt got on the scoresheet too. Johnny Logan sang at halftime!!!!

Harkin MOTM, really deserved a goal, great day. Fairly sure Paul Byrnes lost weight since he left.

The greatest Bohemian ever. Kevin Hunt = God.

Publin · 13-10-2008 1:47am

Guys I truly believe Kevin Hunt is once in a lifetime, he his fantastic player and an incredible man. Much as I hate the shams I'd like to sincerely thank them for their contribution to the match programme and all others who contributed. I'd like to wish the first division lads all the best, personally I'd like to see Shels do it, but it was a heart-wrenching moment to see Kevin Hunt leave the pitch tonight (tears welling up in my eyes as I write this, what a man).

We love you.
