ABSTRACT This article assesses the historical links between the cities of Liverpool and Dublin in terms of Republic of Ireland-born player migration to Everton and Liverpool football clubs, the role of supporters’ clubs and the organisation of matches involving these clubs in Dublin. While Everton Football Club had initially been more closely linked to Dublin through the signing of Irish-born players, the organisation of friendly matches and the establishment of a supporters club in the Irish capital by the mid-1950s, it was not until the 1970s that Liverpool Football Club’s popularity in Dublin surpassed Everton’s through European success, Irish player recruitment and the organisation of friendly matches in the city.

“爱尔兰的第二首都”？爱尔兰足球运动员迁移到利物浦、支持的增长以及利物浦和埃弗顿足球俱乐部在都柏林的比赛：历史评估

摘要 本文从爱尔兰共和国出生的球员向埃弗顿和利物浦足球俱乐部的迁移、球迷俱乐部的作用以及涉及这些俱乐部在都柏林举办的比赛等方面评估了利物浦和都柏林城市之间的历史联系。虽然埃弗顿足球俱乐部最初通过签下爱尔兰出生的球员、组织友谊赛以及在 1950 年代中期在爱尔兰首都建立支持者俱乐部，与都柏林的联系更加紧密，但直到 1970 年代利物浦足球俱乐部在都柏林的受欢迎程度通过欧洲的成功、爱尔兰球员的招募和城市友谊赛的组织超过了埃弗顿。缩写：B. 和 I. 渡轮：英国和爱尔兰渡轮；FAI：爱尔兰足球协会；FC：足球俱乐部；如果一个：
