I mentioned Tony Wilson in the last couple of posts, and there's a curious sporting connection with the man. Turns out he had a close lifelong friendship with Seán Boylan, legendary multi-All-Ireland winning Gaelic football manager. This was never common knowledge, as far as I'm aware; certainly the first I heard of it was in this radio interview with Boylan by RTE's Dave Fanning shortly after Wilson's death in 2007. (I'm pretty sure that clip is playable outside Ireland, though how interested you strangers would be in it I'm not sure.)
EDIT: In case you don't know who Tony Wilson was, this is the chap.
