Can't help with the date (mid 90s anyway) but I definitely remember him being interviewed on the Late Late. He told the story about the lad from Africa, amongst other anecdotes.
Internet says book was released in 1997, could have sworn it was earlier. One website describes it as "A fictional memoir of a life led through alcoholism and an obsession with a third-rate football team." :eek:
I dispute the word fictional. The other two go hand in hand.
I am sure it was Pat Kenny who interviewed him. I have it on video somewhere. As for the year I would say 1997.

The aboveis all fact! nothing fictional, you need alcohol to watch this level of skill!
It was definately Pat Kenny before he took over The Late Late Show.
Pat Kenny didnt start presenting The Late Late S*** until 99'
He had been doing Kenny Live before that so it's probably that that Eamonn was on
Must have been Kenny Live - can't see Gaybo having stirred himself to talk about the bit o' red. Our Gaybo led a very sheltered life.
