Bohemian FC — Dublin’s Fan-Owned Cultural Institution
Bohemian FC, the League of Ireland Premier Division and Dublin football culture are the focus of this episode of Why We Love This Club, as Chris Horwedel explores the history, fan ownership and identity of one of Ireland’s most distinctive clubs.
Founded in 1890 and still 100% member-owned, Bohemians have won 11 League of Ireland titles and 7 FAI Cups while building a fierce rivalry with Shamrock Rovers. The episode traces Bohs from Phoenix Park to Dalymount Park, the historic Dublin ground that has hosted Republic of Ireland matches, Pelé and Santos, Bob Marley, Thin Lizzy and generations of Irish football history.
Chris also examines Bohemians’ community activism, collaborations with Fontaines D.C. and Kneecap, support for Palestine and refugees, and the long-awaited redevelopment of Dalymount Park.
On the pitch, the story includes club legends Jackie Jameson, Kevin Hunt and Glen Crowe, plus current names Dawson Devoy, Colm Whelan and Ross Tierney as Bohemians pursue another significant League of Ireland season.
It’s a story of Irish football, fan ownership, music, politics, community and why Bohemian FC matters far beyond the table.
