Tonight’s Dublin derby between Bohemians and Shamrock Rovers will pay tribute to one of Dublin’s favourite sons, Christy Dignam, and raise money for those who cared for him at St Francis Hospice.
The much-loved Aslan frontman overcame significant personal challenges to uplift generations across our communities – Dubliners who will forever remember and miss him very dearly.
The heartbreak of Christy’s premature passing last week was felt right across Finglas, Dublin, and way beyond.
Christy was cherished by so many at both Bohemians and Shamrock Rovers, and to stand with his family and support those who gave him the care and love that he deserved in his final days at St Francis Hospice.
To that end, Bohemians will don a one-off jersey for the game in his honour, which is now available to pre-order, with ALL profits going to St Francis Hospice.
The jersey can now be pre-ordered from the Bohs online store.
(Note: The deadline for orders is strictly midnight Sunday night and orders are expected to be shipped in approximately five weeks.)
In addition, collections will be held among both sets of supporters in attendance at Dalymount Park with all money raised going to St Francis Hospice.
