We look back at domestic Irish football in 1965. It was a time when the terraces were often packed and teams enjoyed widespread support. Drumcondra, a club no longer in the league, would go onto win their fifth title that year. Shamrock Rovers and Bohs would finish second and third respectively. There would be some consolation for Rovers however, beating Limerick in an FAI Cup final replay.
