I've spoken to him a few times (normally when he and I were the only people at Whitehall, thanks to my habit of arriving insanely early), and to be honest I don't think he remembered me from from occasion to the next. He's fairly easy to avoid when you're not in the mood.

TOM THE GOM is an annoying man but an excellent supporter of the league. When I used to live in Roscommon, I saw him thumbing between Roscommon and Longford.

I heard a story about him a few years back when he was awarded best eircom league supporter of the year. His photo appeared in the papers and it was the only occasion that he was dressed in a tuxedo suit and not his normal scruffy self.

I rem two years ago bumping into him in O Connell St Baile Atha Cliath when I was going to the Drogs game in united park.

There are a few other characters: the long haired Sham Rovers gentlemen, the pats supporter who wears the hat the whole time ,Our very Butch tracey,

As far as i have heard the mysterious Tom the Gom is originally from Tipp.Not sure what part...Pure character though!

Ollie Byrne is a complete tw*t.I would not put him down as a character..Moses is a legend in the shed.I think there is always going to be something we all can say thats out of order.People have got a lot of laughs out of that guy over the years...

Roddy Collins was a character when he was with Bohs...
Pat Dolan is definetly one of the leagues characters...
Dublin fansin general are always characters to Cork fans.Very whitty people and great craic...
