Lorcan looked like a gentle guy and it was probably for this reason that some likely lads from Debden FC thought they'd pick on him during a caveman football match one bitter January Sunday morning in the early 80s. One hangover induced crunching tackle later from the Irish midfield maestro and their biggest lad was left rolling around on the frozen turf, literally crying for his mother. This incident sparked a series of grudge matches that would last for many years to come. Hats off to you Lorcan, a fitting tribute to a side of you that will surprise many of the people who got to know you after you'd hung your boots up.
