Next GAA book revelation

[irunthev]

In his long awaited upcoming autobiography, due to be serialised next week in the Daily Mash, Armagh's All Ireland winning captain Kieran McGeeney reveals how he really wanted to become a Redcoat at Butlins. He says: "Growing up, all I ever wanted to do was entertain people and make people smile and have a right good laugh myself. Ideally I would have loved to have run away and joined the circus to train to be a clown, but a Redcoat at Butlins would have done me. Des O'Connor was my idol when I was a kid. I used to stay up late on a Wednesday night to watch the Des O'Connor Show and when he moved to Countdown, I used to leave work early to watch it."
Kieran McGeeney's Laughter Is The Best Medicine is available in paperback from Orchard Publications at all good bookshops from November 1st.

Was Des O'Connor lazy when McGeeney was a kid or something? (whoever he is)

Edited ... I would hate for the hard-working Des O'Connor to think that I thought he was lazy.

Farrandeelin ... you must be so young ... or I so old.
