Itâs not a stretch to say he would be one of the last people youâd suspect was capable of this. Such a gent, clean cut and a genuine ambassador for the game of hurling through the years.
I still find it very difficult to believe tbh
The aul lad going around the place telling anyone whoâd listen that DJâs original wife was cooking the booksâŚ.
I know another KK fella⌠Not a high profile hurler but invovled in the game who was at something similar albeit on a much much smaller scale. @Malarkey would know him probably.
I donât know what was driving it but he seems to have got himself back in order anyway at least now. Always seemed like a nice lad anytime I met him
In fairness heâs really a modern day Robin Hood. He only âborrowedâ from the rich. Not like the sister.
He genuinely presented underage medals and opened handball alleys for nothing.
Although he golfed with the best of them, I suppose he hadnât the smarts for the corporate speech circuit.
Youâd make a great character witness

I know one man who is said to have gotten caught by him. He was far from rich. Thereâs clubs involved too. Outside the likes of Crokes or the Dublin superclubs, thereâs not many rich clubs out there.
Its a nasty business all round.

DJ never declared bankrupt
Sarah Newman did. But is a separate entity
Did clubs give him money for the pretend cancer treatment?
The player is said to have approached his own county board about contributing to the cost of undergoing stem cell cancer treatment in the US but the appeal was turned down. However, a number of clubs outside the county did make donations upon learning of his supposed trying circumstances.
The cunt will be in the multiple millions by the time it all comes out in the wash

Drip drip drip of information. It wonât end anytime soon. Clubs though. Fucking hell.
Individuals are as bad as clubs. Thereâll be folk for whom it was a big stretch. If itâs true, and it was frittered on living a high life and avoiding work, it is frankly appalling.

Individuals make their own choices. Executives are the trustees of a club and they chose to waste the clubs hard earned money in that manner. Worse still, he choose to accept it knowing this. Itâs treacherous.
What line of work was/is this GAA star in?
You have a very strange logic
A fella like yourself thatâs plugged into the club scene in the southeast would surely have an idea

I couldnât see any committee of a small club agreeing to hand out money and as I said he was know for presenting medals for nothing, unlike some.
New Treasurer: Tom, where did that 20k go?
Tom: Ah sure we gave that to DJ 10 year ago.
