Kevin the Corner Back Comes Back to Busk
Talking Balls Comments
No-one knew the whereabouts of Kevin McCormack, the team’s corner back. He hadn’t been seen for years and many thought he had passed away. Indeed Cavan’s Anglo Celt Newspaper on 26 August this year reported three of the panel deceased, among them our man Kevin.
Just as the reunion do got underway, guests noticed this oul lad with a long shaggy beard and long grey hair meandering about the place, bizarrely kitted out in a blue t-shirt bearing the legend ‘I Love Cavan’ and a pair of Cavan football shorts. Most thought some local character had gatecrashed the party before gradually realising that it was in fact – Kevin!
He wasn’t dead at all, rather he has been living in London where he has been making his living as a busker. Indeed, some of our readers have probably tossed him a few shekels on the Tube from time to time.
Although the people of Cavan didn’t know where he was, the folks at Talking Balls did – we have a picture of Kev batin’ away at his bodhran at Clones last year. If only they’d asked us.
At Talking Balls he’s become a bit of a hero, in fact we have produced a limited edition t shirts in recognition of the fact that we love the GAA and we love the fact it can deliver stories like this that warm the cockles of yer heart.
