"Declan Daly - Cork City
Position: Defender
Date of birth: Thursday 1st January 1970
Daly has been the club skipper for the last few years and the established right-back in the team. A product of the St. Mary's club on the northside of the city he made his League of Ireland debut for Limerick against Cork City in January, 1996 at Flower Lodge. The following December he made his debut for Cork against Waterford and he has since captained Cork to every-honour in the domestic game. He is known as Psycho to the Sheddies and plays in the same style as ex-England and Notts. Forest defender Stuart Pearce. One of the league's most feared defenders, outside of football, he works as a life assurance official with the Ulster Bank in his Cork. He worked very hard to get back from a cruciate ligament injury and is always one of the first names on the team-sheet. An extremely hard and fair competitor he is loved by the City faithful and gave career-high performances in both Uefa Cup ties against IFK Gothenburg."

Hmm, very interesting! Outside of getting his DOB and début details completely incorrect, and the flowery Stu Pearce stuff, the balance has been hobbled practically verbatim from old penpix of mine... what little thief did that, now?
