Paul O’Connell played out half when he was younger?
Paul O’Connell is undoubtedly one of the greatest figures in the history of Irish sport and when he eventually does decide to hang up his boots, we’re all going to miss him terribly.
The Limerick native is beloved at home and admired around the world and a new #AllitTakes is Everything ad for Three examines just how he came to acquire such a status, from his early days as a budding sportsman right up to his present position as captain of Ireland.
With contributions from O’Connell’s father Michael, his coaches, the manager of the supermarket where he worked, Ronan O’Gara and Jonathan Sexton, it’s a fascinating insight into what makes the man tick and a fitting tribute to a true legend.
Giving up on playing out-half didn’t turn out too badly after all Paul, did it?
