Jimmy has that unique voice alright, he's the type of man never to be stuck for words and knows every player inside out

Let's face it, a pub singer reciting the Armagh line-up in Serbo-Croat while downing a pint of Domestos would be far superior to Sidearse

Still sends shivers down my spine hearing him say with a lump in his throat "Armagh are the All-Ireland Champions"

Ah now 5 Sams, not everyone on this board is as old as you. With everyone living longer some of the young fellows here will not only see Armagh win several All Irelands, but they may even live long enough to experience a Down revival.
