McGeever is blunt about the previous weekend at Dalymount Park – 'in a game we controlled from start to finish... it was one of those games where you go home wondering how you lost the match' – with two penalty claims turned down and Derek Swan's free kick, his fourth goal against Harps that season, settling it. He also notes Harps still have two routes into Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe honours panel is unusually complete and is the collector's page here: league runners-up in 1972-73, 1975-76 and 1977-78; FAI CUP WINNERS 1973-74; the European Cup Winners' Cup of 1974-75 and UEFA Cup campaigns of 1973-74, 1976-77 and 1978-79; record league victory 8-1 at Kilkenny City; and the club's great scorer – BRENDAN BRADLEY, 29 league goals in 1975-76 and 181 in total, the League of Ireland's all-time record marksman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Finn Harps Football Club\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Finn Harps Football Club\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 1998\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Single Issue Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Used - Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55158905536839,"sku":"2026-09-17-4041","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/71ZtboCwzPL.jpg?v=1790327368"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/collections\/71MloHAQnYL.jpg?v=1790327744","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/collections\/league-of-ireland-clubs-and-programmes.oembed","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
