Jimmy's a legend.

Also, a UCD fan.

Yes Jimmys great ' Horst Hrubesch, the man they call the monster' where else would you get it.

When my brother was making the way up the sporting ladder in the UK, my mother would phone his latest victory in to RTE and Jimmy Magee would without fail read out the result on the RTE sports news on the radio.

Thanks Jimmy.

Ok I'll ask...who is your bro Owls fan?

Jimmys best moment was Maradonas wonder goal against Engerland in 86."Different class...different classs..."

Jimmy is the man.

Not telling ya

Made it to the top grade of his sport (internationally) but then didn't make an impact

for reasons beyond his control. Still involved in sport via the media and it's not Eamon Dunphy.

When i worked in RTE sports desk some family would keep ringing up in regards to their son doing well for his sunday soccer team across the water !

**OwlsFan** · 14/12/2007, 3:02 PM

Some mothers love their sons !!

**kingdom hoop** · 14/12/2007, 3:05 PM

I'll take a stab at Richie (or do you call him Richard?

) Sadlier. Articulate and with a sense of humour, like his brother. Won a cap I believe (international standard), and then injuries (matters outside his control) curtailed his undoubted potential.

I'm happy with my guess anyway! Although I get the feeling it might be someone a little older perhaps....

**Tony_Montana** · 14/12/2007, 3:07 PM

It's not football i bet, Show jumping would be odds on or lacrosse

**OwlsFan** · 14/12/2007, 3:13 PM

None of those sports and older is correct.

Going on the individual victories you mention, I'm going to go with boxing. Jimmy's done a fair bit of boxing coverage in his time.

Great character. Bought a fanzine one time. Had Czech money on him because he was just back from commentating on some event out there. Then pointed out that he was standing beside the Czech table tennis champion from 1957...

**kingdom hoop** · 14/12/2007, 3:35 PM

I was thinking athletics for some reason. I don't think Owlsfan contributed much to the recent threads on boxing!

**OwlsFan** · 14/12/2007, 3:37 PM

Our family were too good looking to be boxers. Table tennis.....hmmmm, I did win a table tennis medal (at school: runners-up). Still love the game but I don't think the brother ever played it.
