Great story in Tuesday’s edition of the Irish Star – and yes, they do pay my weekly wages so I’ll probably tell you that every story in the Star is a great story.
They are, by the way, even some of the ones I come up with and that’s a statement that will really annoy all my mates out in the Bronx. But life, as last week’s column might have suggested, is too short to be worrying about such things.
So back to the Star and the latest escapade in the mad, mad world of one Wayne Rooney and his WAG – the nickname given to the wives and girlfriends of sports stars -- wife Coleen, both of whom come from families with strong Irish backgrounds in case you’re worried.
Giovanni Trapattoni is a lucky man -- he got to meet the great Jack Charlton in recent weeks and witnessed, first hand, the reverence which is reserved for our greatest football manager ever.
Their meeting, otherwise billed as a photo opportunity, took place in the Clarion Hotel at Dublin Airport that was the home, spiritual and otherwise, of the Irish football team throughout the Charlton era.
