Eamon Dunphy

[CORKBHOY]

Was on Radio One last week talking about how his career ended early and the depression that followed. Was very articualte in explaining what he went through and how a lot of ex pro's end up in severe financial difficulty, alcoholics etc because after football (which is a very short career and not all are earning mega bucks) they have no transferable skills and no idea what to do with the rest of thier life.

He spoke brilliantly about it all and how the PFA need to do more for thse guys

As for football analysis, I find him quite good too. Matched up well with Brady during the euro's who has been doing this a lot longer than him.

I've read a fair few of his newspaper articles and what he offers is a relatively recent insight into the life of a pro soccer player. But he also has the added dimension of being a past Board member of St. Pats. Once you realise Millwall aren't Man U and St. Pat's aren't Seville it's easier to take on board what he's saying. The openness about depression is welcome too.

By chance Munster's Alan Quinlan had a good article on yesterday's Irish Times about players post-retirement problems. It's an excellent read.

He's a good pundit, not a great pundit......
Best part was when Bill made him apologise on air for his language and then 5 mins later he did it again.
Himself, Gilesy and Sampdooooria were box office.

there was a game against some “minnows” years ago where david connolly got a hat trick.

back to the studio and bill says, “it was a great game!”

dunphy goes “it was a great game…if you were david connolly’s mother!”

Eamon Dunphy column: Roy Keane is a bully, an unpleasant character, a little man

Roy Keane has been unduly fair on Brentford FC's new manager, Keith Andrews. He needs to look in the mirror.

He raises good points there in fairness.
If Roy complained about KA not dropping down a level to cut his teeth then fair enough but you cant begrudge a guy taking on a relative shot to nothing.


Himself and MON getting personal isnt a good look and MON has fla'd though European Cups to death. There's a reason hes no longer in the game and KA is. Its moved on.

Keane is now a character. Hes playing Roy Keane during punditry.


The big baby.

Both Dunphy and Keane are total hypocrites.Do anything for a few bob,that's the top and bottom of it.
