They haven't changed much

From one-hit wonders, to brutal films, the Twitter handle #TBT is the easiest way to take a trip down memory lane.

And the good folk at Inpho have produced an absolute gem from the 0-0 draw between Cork City and Shelbourne in what is now known as the SSE Airtricity league from this day in 2004.

Kevin Doyle and Wes Hoolahan lined out for their respective sides that cold October night and judging by their current looks not much has changed in the decade or so since

Doyle left Cork to join Reading in 2005 while Hoolahan quit Shels to link up with Livingston in 2006 while both have lined up for their country in the years since.

The full teams on that night were:

Shelbourne : Williams, Heary, Harris, Rogers, Crawley, Houlahan (Cawley 84), Crawford, S Byrne, Cahill, J Byrne, Moore (Fitzpatrick 73).
Cork City : Devine, Horgan, Bennett, Woods, O’Halloran, Woods, Gamble, O’Callaghan, Kearney, Doyle, J O’Flynn (Behan 90).
