Pearse 'Pee-Arse' Cronin

T.O.T.Y. 2002 ; Pub Golf Champ '02

This young man is also one of the dying breed as was mention previously of Biggane.... He is one of the original Trainspotters, and has of late proved that whilst form may be temporary… class is permanent.

Whilst the Pub Golf title is handed out on the day in question, it takes months for the spotters to reminisce about the year gone by and decide who was their best representative (Trainspotter of the Year award). 2002 - was this man!

The one moment of basketball, which, for me, symbolises exactly what we stand for here at the Trainspotters, was when Pearse came down to the hall for the first year we entered the competition on Stephens Day - bollixed drunk!

I'll never forget, he came on and got the ball around the half way mark and fucked the ball in the general direction of the hoop! It hit the bars holding the ring onto the ceiling, hit a few wires, hit bars again and then miraculously, the ball went straight through the hoop! - Needless to say Pearse was delighted, and with Tony and Lily watching on - the look of disgust on his face when he was told it wouldn't count was fucking priceless!!! Nice one Pearse.

The other moment that sticks out is when Pearse got a "moment of clarity" (like a blinding flash on the road to Damascus) during Pub Golf, turning to one of his pissed up competitors he said (in complete sincerity which makes it even fumier I feel) - "It's an awful thing to be winning"

 

Date of Birth:	Still only a whipper snapper
Height:	Ah bless him, little tyke!
Weight:	I would say somewhere between Stocky to Medium
Hobbies:	Seems to enjoy getting his clothes taken off in the snug by a bunch of young ladies! Bit of a baller in his day
Likes:	"Flaking the Arse" of some young one.; The A&E unit in Tralee General
Dislikes:	Having chunks of his face removed without his permission
Regrets:	Having his nose nearly bitten off! Fear not ladies, its fully attached now, and ye will have all the arse's "flaked off ye", as it were, in due course!
Greatest Fears:	That the same guy that attacked him before will try and add Pearse's ears to his collection!
