Kenny Archer (Part 1) - Deputy Sports Editor of the Irish News & Liverpool fanatic.
When Kenny and Ronan two writers, newspaper columnists, sport lovers and Merseyside rivals got talking, it was inevitable the conversation would go on for a while.. .
In the first part of TheMacs podcast, Kenny recalls the stars of his youth who fired his imagination: Campbell/Ward, Ovett/Coe, McEnroe/Connors, Hagler/Hearns and of course his beloved Liverpool 1978 European Cup winners.. Dalglish, Souness, McDermott... 
From Keenaghan, between Bush and Coalisland, he also remembers the frustration of attending the Royal School in Dungannon, a bastion of rugby when his first love was soccer as well as many happy hours roaming the countryside with his mates and his father's love for Manchester United and motor bike racing. 
Music as well is a passion from Adam and the Ants through to Blur and Oasis.
A news hack back in the days with The Courier he was thrilled when Joe McAree asked him to cover Dungannon Swifts games and while he watched Gaelic football on TV, a Fianna Sports Editor brought him to his first Tyrone game... now he is a GAA football All Star selector!
A household name in Gaelic games newspaper coverage and a brilliant columnist, Kenny also gives a fascinating insight into the comaraderie in the Croke Park press box covering Tyrone's fantastic All Ireland wins.
