As it turns out, quite a lot of you did…
As we’ve witnessed at the likes of the Superbowl, the US Masters and the Tour de France in recent times, no major sporting event is safe from the GAA these days and that most welcome trend was continued at the big Premier League game between Chelsea and Manchester City yesterday.
After Fernando Torres’ gift of a last-minute winner for Chelsea, Jose Mourinho took to the seats behind the dugouts to celebrate with the fans (apparently it is where his son holds a season ticket), fans who happened to include a red-haired chap in a Leitrim jersey and a guy in what appears to be a Tyrone jersey alongside him.
It was a special moment for the fan in question to be pictured alongside the Special One in a moment of great happiness and another strike for the GAA in its continuing efforts to infiltrate major sporting events worldwide.
Hon Leitrim!
