Around 1963 Man u played a Cork selection in flower lodge. Dennis Law scored 4 in a 6 to 3 game. Rumour was it utd wanted to sign Barry Mcgann who would have had a great career but he opted for Rugby instead,
I find it hard to believe Billy Morgan would have put up with that sort of nonsense.
That's very true Greg.
They learnt their lesson though after excluding DB and putting Christy Ryan and Jimmy Kerrigan, both natural half-backs, in the forward line in 1987. Dave B was asked back in 1988.
On the day of the AI Final in 1987 Barry was playing for City at The Carlisle Grounds in Bray. His mind wandered a bit that day I'd imagine.
Gruff man
Billy supported him, hence the reason he was back in 88 and could still play with City. I remember seeing Teddy McCarthy down the Cross fairly often during the late 80s and early 90s.
Bohs will bring out a new jersey to mark the occassion,
Morgan was one of the few that stood up to hin.
Frankeen was the boss back then don't forget!
