Yes she was a Waterford supporter, couldn't you tell by her habit?

Dermot Morgan went to the Hoops in Milltown, before he went to UCD as a student. When we joined the League he was beginning his career as a comedian and he was involved in a lot of fund-raising and half-time entertainment activities. A few years after he died his family sponsored a UCD fixture, in his memory, it was a home game against Shamrock Rovers. Some of his friends from his time at UCD still occasionally attend games here. And he was going to do a column for the UCD programme in the 1998/99 season, had he lived. The format would have been a regular news letter from the London Branch of the UCD Supporter's Club, only with Dermot it would have been a whole lot more.

He was planning on trying to sign up his celebrity friends over there to the Club . A pity he didn't long enough live to write one .

So what you're saying is he's no more of a Hoop than I am?

Brad Pitt is a Pats fan - FACT!

He fell in love with the club while filming gritty 'RA film The Devil's Own in Inchicore (on TG4 at the moment but you've missed the gunfight on Emmet Road so there's not much point tuning in now). That Harrison Ford just can't catch a break, can he

James Connolly once took a wrong turn in Phibsboro and walked past Dalymount. He was therefore clearly a Bohs fan.

Michael Collins once hid in a hedge that later was redeveloped into Turner's Cross. That guarantees that he was a fan of a number of the Cork clubs, including Cork City.

Erik the Red was a viking. He was therefore self-evidently a Dublin City fan.

Yawn....
