Our first port of call as teenagers on arrival in Manchester from Cork in 70s & 80s to see United play. Cheap denims before our next stop- The Dog & Partridge, The Trafford Bar and even got into the players lounge once to meet Tommy Docherty! A tale I recount in my forthcoming memoir #ThisBoysVoice.

Thanks for your faith in me Kieran. 70s & 80s Ireland is the stage for this one. EEC NO to ULSTER SAYS NO - but plenty of craic too! #ThisBoysVoice lands on the bookshelves of Ireland on Oct.22nd.

Jimmy also features prominently in my new memoir #ThisBoysVoice as the man who prompted my lifetime love of League of Ireland and Broadcasting. The story of that first encounter with my hero, when I was aged 12, is told in the chapter 'Jimmy Magee Rules O.K.'
