    Great to hear Irish doctors gave up on him.

    The eye was rebuilt using part of his son's tooth!?!

    Great to hear that it was done, but what was the guy who came up with the procedure thinking that led him to thinking that the tooth would be the solution to blindness?
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Bit harsh to say the Irish doctors 'gave up' on him. It seems a very specialist procedure.

    The guy was on the radio this morning talking about it. Fascinating stuff.

    So much for "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth"

    Very - still experimental too.
    As soon as a player turns 24, they go from being a sorely neglected superstar in waiting to a has-been wasting space in the national team squad.

    Great stuff but the idea of a tooth for an eye makes my skin crawl for some reason.
    TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY

    The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!

    All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
