If anything it's the back stories in some of these that make them what they are, real people.

I never liked the ones where they rolled out someone who all it was was "We won this, then we won that. We got bate that year and then we won the year later, and we all lived happily ever after"..

Just watching last night's now
What a man Alan Kerins was !
To do what he done on the pitch ( an ai winners medal in both club hurling and football and a winners medal in all county football and 2 runners up in all county hurling) pales into insignificance when you see his off pitch stuff

Did anyone watch Conor McManus on this week's Laochra Gael?
He's had some bad run with injuries and playing through the pain, but his point kicking ability was off the scale!

Was behind the goal in Omagh a few years back when he pointed from the sideline under pressure from Ronan McNamee.  Unbelievable score. Was the day monaghan knocked tyrone out with a last minute goal

Got a few minutes, he always came across as a very humble and down to earth guy, and between family and club, it showed what a great community spirit there is there.  An absolute class act.

Not sure where McNamee was but he definitely wasn't putting him under pressure.

Read an oblique tweet about McManus and the elephant in the room. What was the tweeter hinting at?
