At one time the rights to the Saturday highlights package alternated between BBC and ITV and the Big Match was on Saturday night on ITV and MOTD was on Sunday afternoon. But most of the time it was the Big Match on a Sunday afternoon with Brian Moore presenting highlights of Leyton Orient versus Southend.

Una Healy must be regretting she’s not with Breen any more. If she was it would have been a foot in the door to nabbing Virgil Van Dijk or Alexis McAllister or even Caoimhin Kelleher.

Possibly all at the same time.

It would mean more.

She’s riding Aidan Coleman

The co-founder and editor of the Guinness book of records- Ross McWhirter- started an anti bomber campaign in 1975 and offered financial rewards for information on bombers.

He was shot in the head and stomach by a member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army when opening his front door to greet his wife.

She loves her sportsmen

Who is Aidan Coleman?

I’d say it his high profile role with Limerick that drew her to Breenie alright.

I remember that well. The brother Norris McWhirter kept the project afloat.

While there’s no direct link I’m sure the irony here between the soup taking Guiness family and a book named with their family name that was essentially anti irish - is not lost on @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy

I’m going to hazard a guess that he’s some sort of horse botherer.

There’s an Only Fools and Horses musical with Paul Whitehouse as Grandad

By the balcombe street gang ie the lads who really did the Guilford pub bombing not Gerry conlon and co.
