Legend on the field but his off the field antics in his early life will never make him a legend in my eyes

Good hurler, but often accused of being overly physical on the field.

so-wat the f**!! was part of the state he was in with alcohol and led to him getting sober. He said he regreted it when on the Late Late Show. he has done great work since as an alcohol councillor using his experience to help others. that you can't let that go says more about your intolerance and judgemental mindset Merx.

He does do good work now you're right and he should be applauded for that- but that guy in manchester was scarred for life on his face. In fairness you wouldn't be so tolerant if you were him.

Listen, throwing a pint glass at someones face says more about him! you accepting it says way more about your mindset.

You must have led a very sheltered life if you are going to hold that against him for ever

That is pure hearsay and Leahy was f**ed up and has turned his life around to help others. Fair play to him.
