Derry City FC 'City View', Vol 7 No 5: Derry City v Cork City, 8 September 1991 matchday programme — League of Ireland Premier Division championship at the Brandywell
Official Derry City matchday programme 'City View', Volume 7, Number 5, price 50p. Derry City v Cork City, League Championship, Brandywell Stadium, Sunday 8 September 1991, kick-off 3.30pm. Cover sponsor Fruit of the Loom, with a cover action photograph of City striker Jonathan Speak.
The oldest Derry City issue in this group, and the cheapest — 50p, before the club's programme went to a pound. The honours panel stops at the 1990 UEFA Cup and the 1990 League Cup, which is what dates it.
Manager Roy Coyle's message reports two points brought back from Dublin the previous Sunday and argues that a League Championship is won by amassing points early and not letting gaps open. He is frank about selection problems — Gregory Kearney suspended, Joe Hanrahan unavailable and Paul Curran substituted — and warns that Cork City have started brightly and will challenge for honours. Today's officials are named as referee Mr M. Caulfield with linesmen Mr K. Clarke and Mr L. Murray.
The club page names chairman Jack McCauley, president James McCauley, the board and the full programme committee under editor P. Doherty, and pictures 'Derry City penalty king' Stuart Gauld. A page advertises 'A Night at the Races' run by the Post Office Club and Derry City Supporters in aid of the Buddy Bear Appeal, with horses sponsored by two dozen Derry businesses — admission 50p, buffet included.
