We’ve noticed a worrying trend in historic photos of Pat’s and LOI being manipulated by generative AI. It’s understandable that people want to use AI to colourise and touch-up photos. But as a historian, this technology is causing lots of issues.

On this day 45 years ago, Paul McGrath made his St Patrick’s Athletic debut and the rest, as they say, is history. Lots of great players in that match v Rovers including Fran Gavin, Billy Reid, Synan Braddish, Jim Mahon and goalscorer John Cleary. 🔴⚪️ Liam Buckley, Harry Kenny and Jim Beglin in 🟢⚪️.

D) Modern Classic: Brandon Kavanagh vs. Waterford youtu.be/ouPsgsmlBjE?... (We'd been spoiled with free-kicks with Mulraney, but considering we were having a miserable time yet again in the RSC, to win it like this right in front of us was magnificent. I had it as a 1-1 draw - great to be wrong!)

In the early hours of Saturday morning, Kian Leavy made history by making his Ireland senior debut. How about this for a stat though… Kian Leavy is only the second ever Pat’s player to have played for Ireland not to have been a team-mate of Dinny Lowry. (1/2)

History St Pat’s @historystpats.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

We think Kian Leavy is the first Pat’s player in a men’s senior international squad in 55 years. The last Pat’s player to get a men’s senior cap was Noel Campbell in 1971. 5 other men have won a senior cap while at Pat’s: Shay Gibbons, Tommy Dunne, Dinny Lowry, Ronnie Whelan Snr & Jackie Hennessy
