No nonsense Johnny Mac captained and managed St Pat’s during a career that saw him go down in folklore in Inchicore.

He discusses defying hard man Dermot Keeley, why he had to get away from Shamrock Rovers as they were winning everything, and his hilarious ups and downs with a man who always seemed to be there - Brian Kerr.

The Dubliner tells why playing on a dog track wasn’t the worst way to earn a living, the bewilderment of some players as modern techniques crept in to football, a unique encounter with Andrea Pirlo and how cash-strapped former Shelbourne chief Ollie Byrne played it cool when Alex Ferguson offered to bring Manchester United to Tolka Park.
