Pictures of a statue being unveiled to Tony "Socks" Byrne in Drogheda in 2006 I think.
Bronze medal winner in boxing in 1956. Still hale and hearty by the looks of it.
Faults carry throughQuote:

You're right Paudie, just checked it there.
Listening to Timmy McCarthy doing the basketball on RTE. Hilarious, he treats every game like the last minute of the final.
Favourite phrase is definitely- "REJECTED!!!!!"

I love it ! The Phelps conspiracy theory starts !! Excellent - he didn't win that race that he looked like he lost !!
First medal of the Olympics. Well done Paddy Barnes. Didn't see it but great fighting all the same. :):)
Barnes wins bronze in boxing. Seven Olympic medals now for boxers from Belfast representing Ireland.
Brilliant news. Just turned on Radio 1 extra thinking this was on at 1. Des Cahill is playing R Kelly's 'The World's Greatest', I can't listen to that song without thinking of the the parody version 'World's Greatest Statutory Rapist', if you've never heard it you tube it :)
Hopefully Egan can follow on from that.
Great stuff from Barnes, delighted for him.
You mean he's guaranteed at least Bronze... I remember them making this same mistake in 1992 :DQuote:
