Influences

IRELAND 4 IRELAND: Bring Stephen Ireland back for Ireland now - What a fantastic player.
Bob Geldof: what can I say! Jack Charlton[Put ’em under pressure and Ireland’s favourite Englishman], Roy Keane, Mick Wallace [Ireland’s best builder: Work hard, play hard is his motto. I do the work bit!] Steve Coppell: now Reading Football Manager: In my teens I worshiped him as a football player and now he is a brilliant manager. I loved his time at Crystal Palace. He is the guy who made Wright /Bright and Salako! Would make the best choice as Ireland manager someday.

Battle of the Axe Comedy Club, S/S Open Mic Nights's Interests
General
I love Soccer to bits. Manchester United are in my blood since I was born. Sir Alex Ferguson is one of the greats, even though he nearly got the chop after the first couple of seasons with us. With George Best from Antrim and Roy Keane from Cork how could I escape the bug!! Would love to see Becks go to Sunderland. All vote now!! I love Queens Park Rangers & Loftus Road too as I lived in West Kensington/Notting Hill Gate for 10 years & I miss the area big time all the time. STAN BOWLES IS THE MAN!
Also love Hurling, Gaelic Football, Rugby, Golf, Music and Comedy now and again! You'd get a pain in the butt from comedy at times!!!!!!!!
The Champ.
Anything with Robin Williams in it.
Foxes with Jody Foster - gut wrenching & a most emotional film.
Television
Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, Fawlty Towers
Books
Dr Edward de Bono's: The Six Thinking Hats
Heroes
My Mum, Dad, Brother, Sisters.
My Wife Pearl, Sons Alex and Karl.
Robert Saunders who has spent much of his life home-caring for his house-bound Father and Brother down in Laois -unconditional love of its purest kind.Don't ever ask me to subscribe to People of the Year until people like him are considered. I'm sure there are many of his type around the country and they are the Real PEOPLE OF THE YEAR OF ME, YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR
Mick Wallace -Builder who is not afraid of the groundwork! Sir Bob Geldof -what an amazing guy.
All the other exBoomtown Rats who worked so hard in the band & got a loss less credit but deserved as much as Bob for getting them going in the 1st place.
My Sister-in laws: Francis O' Donnell and Dolores Ruth - BEST GREYHOUND TRAINERS IN IRELAND BY FAR! They leave the boys standing!
Better not forget the Greyhounds:
Razldazl Billy & Skywalker Magic
BTW: RETIRED GREYHOUNDS MAKE EXCELLENT PETS
