On what basis has Pat Spillane to be making up catagories for awards? He was a good player on a very good team who pissed through All-Irelands when the rest of the counties were slugging pints and eating frys as pre match routines. That rag Sunday world have given the p***k a platform which has just fuelled his ego. The saddest part was when RTE allowed him present the Sunday Game. We was bloody awful.. a giant leprachaun on speed.
At least Paul Galvin likes him, hmmm wonder why.
ffs, spillane is easily one of the greatest players of all time and his style of play meant that he would have been great in any era
Who said he couldn't play in any era?? He stood out (as did Kerry) due to their ease of passage to provincial and AIF every year... as well as being really good team of course.
Spillane has made his name since by being controversial, no other reason! What other plonker would come out with a rugby team could win an All-Ireland if he trained them for a year.
And as for him being the chairman of his club? Yes fair dues.. but it's hardly putting his money where his mouth is! If he put his money where his mouth is then he would take a senior team coaching job at club or county level. ..or even take on a rugby team and enter them in the Muster c/ship, seeing as it's so easy. Mind you they probably would get to the Munster final. lol
Pat is a prat, simple as that!
