The Specials were the start and end of my hurling career with the Lockes.

My first favourite hurler, got his autograph in my maths homework copy one day in the coalyard

He was a coalman wasn’t he?

Yes, they had a coalyard near John’s Green but now they are up in the industrial estate and do home heating oil and diesel. Joe is retired from the business but two of his brothers still work there.
