The 2005 League of Ireland season was another epic. Champions Shelbourne had a mid-season slump despite having strengthened the squad, arch-rivals Shamrock Rovers were deducted 8 points for being millions in debt, Cork lost Dolan but gained Rico and snatched the title from Derry on the last day of the season, the Superdrogs won the Cup, and Rico lost his hat. All these events and more were recorded by Peter Goulding in verse form at the time. Sadly, he has now decided to publish them.
