Patriotism, public figures and British football

SectionF · 2009-01-21 18:04:53

Thought I'd ask for a little help on this one for the blog...

Since when is Dara O'Briain a Bray fan?

First I've heard about it.

Me too, but sounds authoritative. We're maybe dropping the barrier a bit, but the list isn't too long!

Must be more...

I don't see the point of this thread but anyhow, you have Paul Caffrey down as a Bohs fan. Fairly sure he's a redsman. Though I've never seen him at game.

If thats the case, Jimmy Barry sometimes goes to City matches and stands in the Shed end.

I don't know the first thing about GAA, but I know what Caffrey is and what he looks like, because for a while he was impossible to avoid in newspapers and on TV. Is Jimmy Barry well known?

Would it be fair to say he has a fondness for Newcastle - there's no other logical explanation for him being there.

He was there because when Lou Mcari was celtic manager he did'nt rate him and sold him to Newcastle.

Nicky Byrne (Westlife) is a Shels fan (I know he was at a few European games anywho)

Rest of Westlife are Sligo Rovers fans (donated money to them and all)

Both mentioned in the book, Shelbourne Cult Heros from Bulawayo to Ballybough.

They bought westlife stuff that a guy GAVE to the club
stuff they had been trying to buy for years
Fair play to the man, He' isnt even a fan! no interest in football of any kind and gave 30,000 worth of stuff to the club
He could have got more on Ebay!!!

They have done bits and pieces, they have no interest though!
**which makes them doing anything even cooler!
