Dee Curran sits down with former Derry City manager Tony O’Doherty to relive the unforgettable 1993-94 season. Taking over from Roy Coyle amid financial chaos, director resignations, and a rocky start, Tony became the “yellow pack” boss who guided a depleted squad to a top-six finish, a Bord Gáis Cup win, and an FAI Cup Final.

From holding his first training session in The Park Bar, to tales of securing Peter Reid for a friendly, keeping Liam Coyle at the club, and stories with cameos of Luther Blissett, Neil McNabb, Kevin "Crack" McKeever and Glasgow Celtic legend, Bobby Lennox. This episode is packed with character, crisis, and classic City resilience.
