Wasn't there something similar on the RT� website a while back? Could have been just club legends though.

That was a club legend / league legend thing IIRC.

He was a part of allegedly the most notorious booze-loving team we ever had under Zac as player/manager. Heysham was/is a Muslim and used to get hammered along with the rest of the lads on the bus on the way home from matches. Then he'd apparently break down crying at the shame he felt for going against his religious beliefs!. He'd get over it by having a few more cans. Definite cult hero.

can't remember if he's been mentioned before or not, but Gavin Dykes-mainly for his ability to hoof nearly every second ball over the stands...think everyone in Treacy Ave/Maugheraboy would have least one ball from a match he played in over the years....
