Anybody see Nick Lesson playing for Man City in the Premier League All Stars on SKy 1 last night. He played quite well even set up a goal for Nicky Summerbee.

Great eye for a pass, Tony should ask him does he fancy a game for us:D

[Ceirtlis]

Only saw the end of it. He was out on his feet, i thought they were going to have to carry him off.

Seen him, he played quite well. I thought it was bit mad wearing his glasses though!! He should have broke the bank and brought some contact lenses ;) Was he classified as a celeberity?

[Risteard]

Yes.
Obvious gags used by the commentator aswell.

Did GUFC get a plug on the show?

Did GUFC get a plug on the show?

Ya, well not really. The commentator said now was involved with an Irish Premier Division team but didnt mention Galways names!!

Nick Leeson was interviewed on RTE Radio One last Monday 1st October.
Click on archive section of http://www.rte.ie/radio1/thetubridyshow/ and listen to MODAY's show (about 5 minutes in)

You can't buy publicity like this (not that Ryan Tubridy was ever in a League of Ireland ground)

[Tir Oilean]

Excellent interview. Well worth taking 20mins out to listen to it.

After the "Shock"-Gen scandal, Nick is getting a lot of press again due to the similarities to the Baring story. Galway United is appearing in Google News Alerts from a lot of papers around the globe:
