Jesus Christ, this is beautiful tale here this morning by @daveyhannigan of his Dad on a famous @TheMasters Sunday 30 years ago in New York. @IrishTimes irishtimes.com/sport/golf/20…

Why Greg Norman’s Masters meltdown reminds me of my father on my wedding day

Eighteen Masters have come and gone since my father’s death but the treachery of Alzheimer’s thieved that tournament from him

Is there anything @AkaPaulHoward can’t do? A brilliant podcaster now as well. This is terrific. Wonderful first hand accounts of Tehran etc. @kdkilbane77 a terrific co-host. Knowledge and lightness of touch a dynamite combo.

“I was in a hotel in London… Henry made a beeline for me.” @kdkilbane77 reflects on the joy and agony of play-offs past in conversation with @AkaPaulHoward on the @IrishTimes America 2026 World Cup podcast. irishtimes.com/podcasts/amer…

Fantastic bit of history here from @daveyhannigan on the great Ronnie Delany and the New York crowd in today’s @IrishTimes

A column about Ronnie Delaney being booed at Madison Square Garden, also featuring Jimmy Breslin and Irvin Faust irishtimes.com/sport/athleti…

Dave Hannigan: ‘Backward baboons’ booed Ronnie Delany in art and in life

The fact his nationality and Olympic achievement are the stuff of a serious work of literature shows the stardom the late Dubliner once enjoyed in the US

This is how to you rise above the jeers and the shouts. What a class act @MattFitz94 is. His first thought was to congratulate the Youngs on their son's biggest win!

This is terrific. Great rapport between Matt and Dave. The book is a tremendous read also. A sociological look at how Ireland shaped Roy and how he went someway towards shaping it in return.

A piece about Roy Keane, Cork in the eighties and why the world needs another book about him irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/…

I grew up playing against Roy Keane, he got me my first job and now I’ve written a book about him

For four tumultuous decades, many of Ireland’s hopes and dreams, and sometimes our despair, have been wrapped up in the Corkman’s exploits and outbursts

This is very sad news indeed. I’ve known Noel since I was a student across the road and he was a consummate ball-hopper. I enjoyed meeting him immensely. Whether that was a quiet pint or a post Cork match slagging. Dublin has lost one of its great characters. ❤️
