There were lads in our parish building Thomand Park around 2006/2007. I think they could have been on north of 1k a week after Tax. @Fat_Pox might confirm.
Every Friday, Saturday, Sunday they’d be on the beer in the local. We used be training underage in the field and one time they came up pissed around 7 o’clock in the evening and started a big waterfight.
Great days.
