Son of Margaret, brother, DJ, writer, juicer, blogger, football lover and Irish sports fanatic. Supporter of Manchester City, Celtic and Ireland, two of the greatest club sides ever, and a country that is second to none and known for its passion and grace albeit, in recent times, in defeat. Nevertheless, your club and country choose you and not the other way round; an arrow to the glory hunters amongst you. Life without football is an empty one.
