Has Damo got a mention here yet?
Sid , why was Anton O Tooole known as āthe pantherā ?
Joe Duffy is another one
I presume it was because it was a play on the Pink Panther and because he was a lithe, sleek, sexy, aerodynamic killer?
You donāt get many players nicknamed after cartoon characters these days.
Jacko McCaffrey should be Roadrunner.

I just about remember the massive buzz that surrounded Aslan and this song in the spring of 1987. I have the epicentre of it narrowed down to the day Dublin beat Kerry in the League final at Croke Park and Rovers were knocking lackery out of Dundalk up the road in the Cup final at Dalyer. There was a beautiful moment on the Whitworth Road after those matches as a large group of Dublin supporters ahead of me were walking up the Whitworth and a large group of Rovers supporters were walking down it, and both saluted each other in victory. Heady days.

Always think would be a good idea for a TV doc to try to find people interviewed in these type of old rte shows and see where they are now how their lives turned out etc.
