History of Shamrock Rovers F.C.
(詳細はfootball club from Dublin, Republic of Ireland. Founded in Ringsend, a southside, inner suburb of Dublin, the club's date of foundation is uncertain and disputed. Between 1926 and 1987 the club played at Glenmalure Park, Milltown. Shamrock Rovers F.C. is Ireland's most successful football club having won the League of Ireland a record 17 times, including four times in a row in the 1980s, along with the FAI Cup a record 24 times, including six times in a row in the 1960s. It was also the first Irish club to participate in a European competition, playing in the European Cup in 1957. Shamrock Rovers was also one of the European club teams that spent the 1967 season in the United States to found the United Soccer Association, representing Boston as the Boston Rovers.
Shamrock Rovers F.C. has supplied more players to the Republic of Ireland national football team (62) than any other club. Famous players that have played for the club include: Paddy Moore, Jimmy Dunne, Paddy Coad, Jackie Jameson, Frank O'Neill, John Giles, Mick Leech, Pat Dunne, Noel Synnott, Jim Beglin, Paddy Mulligan, Johnny Fullam, Mick Smyth, Liam O'Brien, and Eamon Dunphy. Irish Rugby union international Tony Ward also played for the club for a period in the 1970s. Prior to the 1970s, Shamrock Rovers F.C. was well supported, attracting over 20,000 people regularly to Glenmalure Park and up to 45,000 for Cup Finals and European matches at Dalymount Park. Shamrock Rovers spent 22 years, from 1987–2009, as a homeless club during which time they experienced severe financial troubles and entered into Examinership.
==Foundation and early history==
The foundation of Shamrock Rovers is disputed amongst supporters of the club. No official documentation of the era exists. The earliest known mention of the club in the newspaper archives at the National Library of Ireland comes from 1901 and an article in the club programme from 28 December 1941 claims that the club was founded in this year. This contention is also backed by the testimony of certain relatives of former chairmen and committee members. The only two certainties about the origins of the club in relation to what year they were formed are the facts that, Rovers played only friendly games for the first two years of their existence and the club registered with the Leinster Football Association in 1901. Essentially, the dispute is over whether the two years of friendlies were played before or after the registration with the LFA. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the date 1899 was written on the gates of Glenmalure Park but since the 1990s, 1901 has been adopted as the founding year by the various regimes which have run the club.
Shamrock Rovers F.C. originally hails from Ringsend, a southside, inner suburb of Dublin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shamrock Rovers ) 〕 The club was formed at a meeting held at no. 4 Irishtown Road, home of Lar Byrne, the first secretary of Shamrock Rovers. It was the idea of brothers John and Michael James Gregg to form the club and together with William Maguire, 'Mikey' Caulfield, 'Granda' Gaffney, Archie Murphy, John Fullam, William Saunders and others unknown, they formed the inaugural committee. Larry Fitzpatrick, a Ringsend fisherman often credited as the founder of the club in 1899, was also actively involved in the formation of the club and sat on the early committees. The name of the club derives from Shamrock Avenue in Ringsend, where the first club rooms were secured.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Brief History of Shamrock Rovers by Robert Goggins )〕 In September 1906, after a few seasons in operation, Rovers withdrew from the First Division of the Leinster Senior League. At a meeting in 1914 Shamrock Rovers F.C. was resurrected, playing matches at Ringsend Park, but within two years, the park became unavailable. The club disbanded and played only friendly games for the next five years. In 1921, Shamrock Rovers F.C. was resurrected once more, as a Leinster Senior League outfit and reached the final of the first ever FAI Cup where they lost to St James's Gate F.C. in a fixture marred by crowd violence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=eircom League history )〕 The following season, the club won the League of Ireland title at the first attempt, going 21 games unbeaten and scoring 77 goals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=(Republic of) Ireland League Tables )〕 In 1924, the star of the league winning side of two years previous, Bob Fullam returned to Rovers from Leeds United〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bob Fullam )〕 and together with John Joe Flood, John 'Kruger' Fagan and Billy Farrell, completed the famous forward line known as the 'Four Fs'.〔 By the end of the club's fifth season in the league, Rovers had won three league titles and one cup. During the 1930s, the club won a further three league titles and five FAI Cups in front of crowds of up to 30,000 people in Milltown with legendary Irish internationals, Paddy Moore and Jimmy Dunne playing key roles in the success of the club. By 1949, Rovers established themselves as Ireland's most successful football club, winning forty-four major trophies – six league titles, eleven FAI Cups, seven League of Ireland Shields, six Leinster Senior Cups, two Dublin City Cups, four Inter-City Cups and eight President's Cups.〔
