Surely a first for the League!
A GLITW moment for sure.
The other guy was a hoop
Who cares what score he got.... Did he give Rachel a dart!!??
Who could of predicted Dinny's first defeat of the season would come at the hands of Maggie Barlow from Lutterworth
I'm going out a limb here to suggest he may be the first contestant to win a player of the month award in the top division of a professional football league on the same day as his appearance on the show
I'm just surprised that, given how popular the show is (was?) among students, that more former UCD players haven't taken part. I must write a strongly worded letter.
(A UCD fan did compete a few years back - former poster here actually - but he also lost his first game)
I know a couple of Pats fans who were on (one made a series semi-final) and a Dundalk fan. No other ex-LOI players, that I'm aware of!
You probably already know this, but Corcoran (and the Pat's/Dundalk/UCD fans) are all immortalised on the Countdown wiki page. Here's Corcoran, for example. It's 9 years now since the last active footballer I heard of on Countdown, then-Premiership player Clarke Carlisle, who won three games.
(In fact, that wiki page notes two other footballers to have played - one for Notts County and one for Norwich/Northern Ireland)
Matt Le Tissier was on it too. He went on a long run of wins too if I remember right.
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
Can we add his score to the league's co-efficient?
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!
- E Tattsyrup.
Dinny - I’ll have a consonant please Rachel
“S”
- another consonant
“C”
- a vowel
“U”
- and a consonant
“M”
I have a 14 - shamrockrovers 😁

Meeting the lovely Rachel Riley would have been a bonus. Did he say 'professional footballer' when asked what he does?
And the easiest question he was asked he didnt get right 'Why do the Irish clubs play in the summer ? Dinny 'I dont know really, maybe its the weather'
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
He's not wrong though, those cold and wet Monday nights 'round Dublin just kills the attendances!
Give you a bula bus for that one
