DJ Carey

[Blue Jasmin]

To be honest I only thought of it because I was having coffee with him the other day and he said "Did you see all this shit with DJ Carey?" and the man is impossible to buy a present for.

He lives for three things; sport (mainly soccer), walking miles every day and watching his grandson play soccer*.

Some days I wish he went back on the drink so I could just hand him a bottle of whiskey and make my life easy.





*Recent touch-line conversation with my father whilst watching my nephew's team.

"He's a good centre-half, isn't he? Shame you never played football."

"Eh... I did play football. I played for the same team. Centre-half as well"

"I don't remember that. You weren't any good though, I'd say. I'd remember otherwise."

If he does read sports books that's a start but I reckon the homes of Ireland are full of unread sports biographies bought by children for their fathers.

Someone got my father a biography about Sean Og years ago and it's still gathering dust at the bottom of a wardrobe at home

He'd read the Examiner from cover to cover but never open a book.

lol.. your old man sounds like an astute fella

I wouldn't bother with that book, if DJ wants some way out of financial ruin then he has plenty of time on his hands now to put a proper book together with a ghost writer. I reckon the one just out is just opportunism with the timed to for case ending and the christmas market, it wont have anything you haven't read already

To be fair to my dad - he reads constantly but, again, I never know what to get him. Unless it's about football or Bruce Springsteen...

I did buy him Jon Spurling's "Get It On" last year and he loved that.

Forgive me Crispy but he sounds like a cantankerous so and so.

He is, Mange. He once said to me "A man who doesn't get a haircut at least once a month and does only a cursory cleaning of his car isn't a man of character or class... and probably lives in Dublin."

Astute is right.

He's the most generous and obliging person you'll ever meet.

But, yeah, he is also a fucking bollix.

In the last 12 months, Mange, I have bought him a pair of Gore-Tex walking trousers and then a very snazzy jacket to match so he can hit his, quite frankly - mental, target of 30,000 steps a day.

Rang him a few weeks back and he told me he got drowned walking. I asked him if he had worn his gear.

"Ah, no. I want to keep them good."

On topic - there's really no walking this back in any form for Carey is there?

Mange mentioned that he could do a ghost written book and it'd probably sell initially and in numbers but a sustained income coming from his post-playing career is gone really.

Unless BEIN Sports gets the hurling.

Maybe Spaceology?

He'll get a gig managing a few club teams.

Carlow IT would have him back I'd say

He'll be grand.
