ONeill

Loosely GAA related but Standing In Gaps by Seamus O'Rourke (Leitrim) worth a read.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Haven't got hold of it yet, but it looks decent, and honest, from this excerpt about the aftermath of 1992 and his retirement:

That's a cracking excerpt from the book, will have to get it. Spent a summer during mid 90s in Glenties area and his legend was real with stories of late nights etc. Think his brother had the Limelight at that stage with him working there or the pub next door? He was a fine fine player in his prime.

Met Anthony a few times. Great fella. Glad he is well. Must buy the book.
