Padraig
'The Shadow' Shanahan
-
This young man has been part of the furniture here
at the Trainspotters since he joined the team in '99 and ironically
we won fuck all when he came first! But we haven't stopped winning
since. "I don't think we could stop if I tried" - jokes
Padraig!! (2002 proved differently boyo!)
A lot of people said he was just brought in on the back of who his
brother was, but that's not true, Snuffy was just in a generous
mood that year, buying cars for two of the senior committee members!
I clearly remember introducing Padraig to the team saying - "he's
one of the good looking guys now!" and someone shouting - "but
he's got a face like a smacked arse!". Ha Ha.... Good times
Proud owner of the number 69 jersey of the spotters, he's been through
a lot in the last number of years. No longer known as Becks, he
now responds to Shadow, and only to Shadow, if you were to call
him Padraig, he'd probably just get sour! And we've all seen that
puss!
