He has looked poor in the last couple of games but up to that he was very solid and looked a decent keeper. His lack of games at club level isn’t helping him and wouldn’t be surprised to see him leave Sunderland in January
Oh he has next to no ability alright but he runs around a lot and fits into the “system”. I will always give him credit for the effort he put in in the Euros and was one of the few who did not perform shamefully in those games.
The Empire Strikes Back was released around the time the Republic of Ireland advertised for a new manager in 1980. Interest in the £16,000-a-year position came mainly from former Irish internationals and after a six-strong shortlist was whittled down to two candidates, Limerick City’s manager Eoin Hand was chosen ahead of former Chelsea full-back Paddy Mulligan. Hand won by a single vote, a fact that took on amusing significance when one committee member explained he had voted against Mulligan because he suspected him of being the player who once threw a bun at him on an away trip. The blazer struck back. PD
