About

Bohemian Football Club is a professional side based in Dublin, Ireland, competing in the Premier Division, founded on 1890 and represented by a long history of red and black at Dalymount Park. Walkouts lists authenticated shirts and framed pieces that speak to the club’s member‑owned identity and rare match provenance.

Formed on 6 September 1890 in the Phoenix Park Gate Lodge, Bohemians established themselves early in Irish football and later became one of the League of Ireland’s most decorated clubs. Home matches at Dalymount Park in Phibsborough remain central to the club story, and the side’s record includes a headline tally of 11 League of Ireland titles alongside multiple FAI Cups and domestic shields.

The club’s archives point to notable pre‑partition successes in the Irish Cup, and a dominant local record in the Leinster Senior Cup with 33 wins. Those trophies, the Phoenix Park origin and the club’s long run of amateur ethos until 1969 are frequent provenance notes attached to match‑issued shirts and framed displays, reinforcing the narrative collectors value.

Collectors prize both match‑worn shirts and retail fanshop issues, and Bohemians examples are no exception. Fans seek early retail runs, player‑issue variants and region‑specific releases that circulated around Dalymount Park, and many consignments include supporting documentation or signed inscriptions. Free worldwide shipping is offered on selected authenticated items.

Away kits and contrast strips have their own following, often linked to memorable cup ties and decisive fixtures. Even where home colours are red and black, durable away releases become sought after when tied to finals or title runs, and provenance such as match reports and stadium photography helps verify usage for those pieces.

Anniversary releases are prominent in the market; the club’s centenary in 1990 produced commemorative shirts that draw attention from collectors, while the club’s double season in 2001 remains a magnet for sought after programmes and match shirts. These seasons are repeatedly cited in provenance notes and specialist listings for Bohs memorabilia.

When shopping for Bohemian shirts look for the classic contrast away colourway, often listed as white with red and black trim, and supporting authentication such as a COA which is commonly offered with match‑worn or signed items. Walkouts features authenticated pieces tied to the 2001 double and the 2008 double, and many listings reference Dalymount Park match reports and FAI Cup finals as provenance for the signatures and match usage.

Honours

Bohemian F.C. stand among Ireland's most decorated clubs, combining longevity with a sustained competitive edge. Their headline record features 11 League of Ireland titles and 7 FAI Cups, supported by six League of Ireland Shields and 3 League Cups. Prior to the formation of the League of Ireland, the club competed in all-Ireland competitions, winning the Irish Cup once and finishing runners-up five times. Founding league members in 1921, they quickly built a winning tradition which broadened again after ending strict amateur status in 1969, yielding notable silverware through the 1970s.

Modern peaks include celebrated league-and-cup doubles in 2001 and 2008, along with additional league crowns in 2003 and 2009. Uniquely, the club has achieved all four domestic trophy doubles available in Irish football, underscoring breadth as well as depth of success. They also set the provincial benchmark with a record 33 Leinster Senior Cups, reflecting consistent performance across eras.

Legends & Leadership

Jackie Jameson, a legend player of the 1980s, is cherished for artistry and end-product that lit up Dalymount nights, while Turlough O'Connor defined the 1970s with prolific contributions that kept Bohemians at the sharp end of the domestic game. Together they symbolise the club’s tradition of technical flair allied to clinical finishing.

Bobby Browne, a legend player of the 1980s, offered steel and leadership, and Tony O'Connor, a legend player in the 1990s, brought big-game resilience that supporters still reference. Roddy Collins, a legend player of the late 1980s, added tenacity and presence, embodying the competitive edge expected in Dublin derbies and title races.

Glen Crowe, a recent key player of the early 2000s, delivered decisive goals during a trophy-laden spell, and Owen Heary, a recent key player of the late 2000s, set standards for consistency and captaincy as Bohs chased honours. Their impact bridged tradition and modern success for the club.

Stadium

Dalymount Park is the spiritual home of Bohemian F.C., anchoring the club in Phibsborough on Dublin’s northside. The ground’s identity is woven into matchday routines, with red-and-black colours and terrace culture creating a distinctive atmosphere that regulars and visitors recognise immediately. As a members-owned club, the sense of community is pronounced, from the approach to the turnstiles to the final whistle. The venue has long hosted key league fixtures and cup ties, and its name carries a resonance that goes well beyond the capital. Rivalry occasions against Shamrock Rovers heighten the intensity, with noise levels and choreography reflecting one of Ireland’s fiercest derbies. Known simply as Dalymount Park, it remains a landmark in Irish football heritage and a focal point for Bohemians’ identity, tradition, and support on the northside of the city.
