So quick search confirms it's the old owner of Healy's bar, grandfather of Colin Healy, actual name Paddy but nicknamed Hitler because of his tash.

No PC madness in the 40's anyway clearly.

I think this is correct, unfortunately.
I say "unfortunately" because the other reason for the nickname that used to do the rounds was that Healy fought in WW2 and by his own accounts bate Hitler himself with no need for any great help. A great story, but not true it seems and your version is the right one.

This Kildare FM lad has potatoes in his mouth, as my Grandad used to say about Don Cockburn.

"Koldare possing the ball arou-und".

1-05 to 0-0 on County Sound.

1-6 to no score. Is there a hurricane up the country or can we dream? ?

Sounds like a defensive gameplan from Cork with counter-attacking and quick footpassing.
1-06 to 0-01.

1-8 to 0-2, Powter with the goal, looking good. I see Meath got another 3 goals already against Clare.
