Shelbourne star Will Jarvis relishing his time under master tutor Damien Duff

Many of the young fans now filling out League of Ireland grounds to capacity never saw the Shels boss drop the shoulder and slalom down the wing for club and country.

Will Jarvis has a vague memory of seeing Duff on TV, playing in a Champions League game, but he was a nipper at the time. Clubmate Harry Wood came with him and the pair made an instant impact, helping to drive Duff’s team to a fourth placed finish and European football. “I knew he was a great player back in his day. I was too young to remember most of his games but the game I do remember was against Barcelona."The gaffer played the same position as I play and if I can't learn off him, then I can't learn off anyone.Jarvis admits he had no idea what he was getting into when he pitched up in the League of Ireland last summer.

“I hadn't played overseas before and I didn't have much experience in men's football. I knew it was going to be tough and I was talking to the gaffer about it. Duff said: “Winning a game in the League of Ireland is amazing. People take that for granted when they go home, but it's so bloody hard to do so.
