A new book charting each of the 628 players to line out at senior level for Finn Harps was launched on Saturday evening.

We Are The Harps has been penned by lifelong Finn Harps fans Joe Doherty and Bartley Ramsay and was unveiled in Jackson's Hotel.

Members of Harps' FAI Cup winning team from 1974 including the captain Jim Sheridan, Charlie Ferry, Gerry McGranaghan, Joe Harper and Gerry Murray as well as manager Patsy McGowan were in attendance.

So, too, was the current Finn Harps senior manager Darren Murphy and former players like Con McLaughlin, Joe Logan, Michael Funston, Tom Mohan and Eloka Asokhu.

Chris McNulty of Donegal Live was MC for the launch with the Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council, Councillor Martin Harley, among the speakers.

Video clips from the FAI Cup run in 1974 were shown on an evening of nostalgia.

The book covers the period from Harps' entry into the League of Ireland in 1969 until the end of the 2023 season.

Whether they have played just one minute for the first-team, or 485 times as is the case with record appearance holder Jonathan Minnock, they are all included.

Milestone appearances are included as well as clean sheet records for each of the goalkeepers.

Every manager, from McGowan, who led Finn Harps into senior football, right up to Murphy, are also profiled.

From the famous to the infamous, they can all be found in this book and this is a record of their offering to Harps. Nowhere before has a record of those who have played and managed the club been gathered and presented in one place.

Joe Doherty and Bartley Ramsay are life-long supporters of Harps: Bartley first attended Finn Park for a mid-1970s pre-season friendly against West Bromwich Albion while Joe has been making the fortnightly trip down Navenny Street since first doing so for a League Cup game against Derry City in 1988.
