Frank McGlynn, Seamus Coleman, Kevin Moran, Shane Long, Neil Lennon
I said from 1995. Kevin Moran retired in 1994. McGlynn was a soccer player who played and done well at the GAA.
Shane Long was a better hurler than footballer but along with Coleman and Lennon were both successful soccer players.
Most decent gaelic footballers got trials at some point or another. was the statement.
No they didnāt. There is a handful of decent gaelic footballers in the country and fuck all got trials.

Mike Sheehy rejected a trial at Soton. You could understand an Irishman rejecting a trial in England in the mid 1970s in fairness.

The league winning professionals had never seen fitness levels like those of Mick Muldoon.
it was so noteworthy, he dedicated a chapter in his book to it
In the 1980s, Joe Dolan was invited to perform in Russia, a rare opportunity for a Western artist at the time. His music had somehow found its way behind the Iron Curtain, and he had built a surprisingly large fanbase there.
When he arrived, he was met with crowds of adoring fans who knew his songs word for word, despite the language barrier. At one of his concerts, the audience was so enthralled that they refused to leave after the show ended. They chanted his name, demanding more. Security was unsure how to handle the situation, but Joe didnāt hesitate. He walked back out, flashed his signature smile, and started singing again.
The crowd erupted, and he played well beyond his scheduled time, delivering an unforgettable performance. It was a testament to the power of his music, able to connect with people across cultures, even in a country where Western influences were limited.

I learned something from company man Dick Clerkin while listening to him on Today FM. I finally realise how to pronounce football in that northern/Colm OāRourke style. I used think it was how they pronounced the āfootā bit but itās that they pronounce āballā, ābullā.
