- Description
- This podcast takes a turn around the 30 minute mark. The Kerry Golden years, the evolution of goalkeeping, dropped because of injury and never really making it back. It's all interesting reflections. Scratch a little, then the brutal impact of sitting on the sub bench becomes clear. It's not an exaggeration to say being a sub, contributed heavily to Paudie O'Mahony becoming an alcoholic. It cost him dearly, something he accepts. He's now 12 years clear from drinking, a fabulous accomplishment. Life is really good now and it leads to some really honest reflections. He loves Kerry, his club Spa, hates goalkeepers hitting frees, it's all Cluxton's fault, explains why Jack O'Shea wasn't good at the start....but then he was. His love of the Dublin team of the 70's & 80's also shines through. Paudie O'Mahony- what a voice!

- Description
- When Pelé signed for the New York Cosmos in the 1970s, it changed football in America forever. At a time when the sport struggled to compete with baseball and American football, the NASL needed a global superstar and Pelé delivered. His arrival brought packed stadiums, worldwide attention, and helped turn soccer into a must-see spectacle in the United States.
Alongside icons like George Best, who saw the USA as a fresh start, the league embraced a bold new style. Fireworks, cheerleaders, mascots, and family friendly crowds transformed the football experience into pure entertainment. It was a stark contrast to the gritty atmosphere of European football at the time.
By the late 1970s, soccer in the USA was booming. Big names, big crowds, and big ambitions had the NASL dreaming of global dominance. But while the rise was spectacular, the story of Pelé in America is also one of what might have been.

Ultra dedication towards winning Sam Maguire, but sitting in the car with a bottle of vodka "60 Halfins between us" Growing up in rural Co Down "Alone but not lonely" helping his younger brother Ronan through cancer, and using that to drive him into the superb footballer he became.
