John Egan - Irish Celebrity

[bromtom]

A chat with John Egan on an Irish sort of phone in/chat show thing that's popped up on my YouTube



It's very Irish, the presenter says craic almost immediately

 

[Chali 2na]

Funny that the host assumed Egan was one of the overlapping centre-back.

 

[tonytonycurrie]

Fabulous. Salt of the earth!

United have a great opportunity to tap into the Irish connection and become every Irish fan’s favourite English club.

(The ones that don’t already support Liverpool anyway)

I'd like that, it would be great for us.

Egan
Stevens
McGoldrick
Callum Robinson?
Shane Long?

Egan's already done our reputation a lot of good with that song!

 

[Sheffsteel]

It seems Egan’s dad is a much bigger celebrity in Ireland.

No talk about 'just staying up' re hopes for next season. I like it.

Don't fancy Long but would take Robinson in a heart beat.

Would also take Christie, O'Dowda and Browne too

His dad was an excellent Gaelic footballer apparently.

Bono & The Edge will feature at some point next season in the Director's Box.

He is indeed, he died in his fifties and was mourned by the whole of Kerry, the county he played for, they have a statue of him in his home town. I'm a hurling fan but even I'd heard of the great John Egan senior.

[Bladeaway]

It seems he’s quite the song writer already

 

[I should coco]

The bloke on the right (Kierran) had what you might call a 'strong Irish accent'.

Reminded me of Brad Pitt in Snatch:

'The Edge' was born in London.

An article in the Irish Independent about Egan, interesting fact about us Man City and Atletico Madrid. We're being mentioned alongside a different class of club now, don't mention it to the S6 Massive, it'll only upset them even more, if that's possible.

On the downside how the hell did this happen?

True.
Most of my family in Derry support either Liverpool or Man Utd.

My family in Clare support Liverpool, Spurs and Man U, also got a cousin in Tipp who is Man U. I've had messages of congratulations from them and promises to come over for our games against their teams Not sure how that's going to work, two cousins came over for the Spurs game last time we were in the Prem but I've a feeling tickets are going to be rarer than rocking horse shit this time around.

Anyone know if you can use your points to buy tickets in the away end?

We’ve already got the fan friendship with St Pats, so we’re halfway there.

 

[JackSUFC]

His dad was an excellent Gaelic footballer apparently.

His mum was also a footballer and has a League of Ireland winners medal. Good sporting genes for sure.

Tax dodging wankers I hope not

 

[dublin 10 blade]

That’s actually a very good show , I listen on a regular basis ,
They have some very good stuff on , they also do live premiership commentary’s as well
Maybe I’ll be able to listen to
Dem Blades when there on next season

I've been working on my Irish inlaws for the past 6 years, they're all crazy man u fans but have been getting very excited about our rise to the top. Get more texts about the blades from them than anyone else. We,re certainly their second team now

Cherry Orchard are one of the top junior sides in Ireland
They play close to my house , at one stage they were Man city’s “ Irish club “ with youngsters going over for trials on a regular basis ,
Willo Flood , was signed by city from them ,
The set up they have is good , my lad played for them for a while , but I found it a very harsh ( hard ) setup , I thought it was hard on the kids

 

[Chali 2na]

I see you've been on Wikipedia too

 

[JackSUFC]

Wikipedia? Nah, I just know my Irish women footballers from (presumably) the 70s/80s.

Wife’s innumerable Irish cousins are all Pool or Man Yoo.

The Irish are fanatical about sport. The discipline imposed on GAA players when they reach county level is unreal. Going out for a drink with your mates during the season gets you thrown off the panel ( squad ), when you take into consideration that they're all amateurs it's incredible.

I'm old enough to remember when it was played a bit like rugby used to be before professionalism. It was always taken seriously because pride was at stake but off the field they would relax a bit, now it's professional in everything but wages!
