I was reading quotes from Brian Kerr on eleven-a-side and they said the quotes came from an extensive interview with Irish News. Does anyone have a subscription to Irish News? If so, would it be possible to paste the interview here, here's the link:

Heres a few quotes from e-a-s:Exclusive Interview: Brian Kerr
Brian Kerr has just celebrated two years in charge of the Republic of Ireland's national soccer team.
“[Damien’s] becoming the all-round complete player. He’s never going to be a great header of the ball, but his dribbling, his passing, his work-rate and his finishing are better than ever.
“We’re just lucky to have someone like that playing for us, we should all be privileged to be around when he’s around.
“I think parents should be making extra-special efforts to bring their kids to Lansdowne Road to see him playing ‘live’. He’s a special talent. I think in 20 or 30 years’ time people will be talking about him in the same way people take about George Best.
“In years to come people will be talking about Damien the day they saw him play in Dublin. He’s a genius in many ways.”

“Aiden’s a young lad ... I’ve had him for underage teams for three or four years and I know him well.
“He’s got to get strong. Senior level is completely different. We’ve blooded him very tenderly.
“He’s one for the future, we know he has massive potential. But he has to be better than what you have at the time. Aiden is in there among them, but a lot of lads are ahead of him when we’re picking our first XI.”
