All I know about him is what I saw on Breaking Ball a few years back. He seems like a completely humourless character, who found God when his wife left him twenty-some years ago - according to the interview in Breaking Ball anyhow. Does he actually support Limerick even though he's from Limerick and still lives there? Anyone with any interesting tales to tell about him? Why did he switch from John 3:14, or was it 3:16, to John 3:7? Does anyone know what John 3:7 says i.e. is his banner working?

I looked up that 3:7 recently - it said "..and God so loved the forgotten people of the Deise that he sent down his son Ken McGrath to bring them to the promised land"your man changed it when Ken changed from minor to senior... before that the 3:16 sign referred to the passage " Limerick will win a senior All-Ireland in football before they win one in hurling"

yeah, he's a bit of a freak alright. answers the phone by saying something like "jesus saves". that's all - no hello, number, name, nothin. wouldn't it be funny to ring him and, when he comes out with his line, then reply, "oh, hello. beelzebub will take his rightful place as king of men", and then carry on the conversation?

Howaye LN, he changed from 3:16 to 3:7 cos he said 3:7 was a shorter snappier bible verse. Lads would ask him "what is 3:16" and it would take him a while to recite it and the bies would tip off not listening. he reckoned he could recite 3:7 instantly so that was grand. IP: Logged |
