‘It’s got to be said for the little man, give him a sniff at goal – and he is deadly.’ Jim Gavin One of the greatest Dublin players of the modern GAA era. A man who transcended the racial divide to carve out a stellar career. Foreword by Jim Gavin - manager of the All-Ireland-winning Dublin team. Jason Sherlock grew up in Finglas, North Dublin. As the son of an Irish mother and Asian father, he experienced racism throughout his childhood. On the playing fields and basketball courts however, he found acceptance, along with a new-found discipline to fend off the daily taunts. Sherlock represented Ireland in under-21s soccer, captained its basketball team and spent his summers winning hurling trophies in Cork. But in 1995 his life changed overnight as he was plucked from the fringes to become the best-known star in the GAA. He won an All-Ireland SFC title with Dublin, whose supporters gave him his own song. ‘Jayo Mania’ came out of nowhere and spread through the country like wildfire. New opportunities arose from his new-found celebrity status. He became a TV presenter and started to mix with the good and the great, opened shops with Sylvester Stallone and Richard Branson, and gladly surfed the wave of celebrity. His soccer and GAA performances however, declined, and he began to feel as though he was seen as a novelty or marketable product, rather than a sportsman. Over the next decade and a half, Dublin failed to win another All-Ireland and Sherlock became utterly obsessed with trying to get back on top. In 2009, he was dropped from the Dublin panel, his self-worth plummeted, and he started to label his career as ‘fourteen years of failure’. Not content to wallow for long, he began the fight to get his place back on the team. Sherlock’s story is one of a battle for acceptance, a fight against racism, a climb to the highest levels of three sports with a stop off along ‘Celebrity Way’. It is the journey of a boy who was cast head-first into the full glare of the media and became an Irish legend. But more than anything else, this is a story of one man’s resilience.

Cormac G. McDermott loves to write humorous stories, jokes, jokes poking fun at people's names and funny, real-life poetic analogies!! He has assembled this witty collection of his writings to share with all. Here is an example of one such piece: Rumour has it that Les Reed was sacked as Charlton manager a few years back as he was planning to bring Gabrielle in as cover for Stevie Wonder in the goalkeeping position..........he said she'd been trying to catch an eye or two over the previous few years..........if you decide to tell her this, you can say from me, that for her own sake, more so than mine, instead of keeping an eye out for me, she can keep one in!!!!! I was watching a dance competition on television once when I asked the person next to me what dance the competitors were actually performing..........on hearing the response the tango, I turned around and retorted "that's about as much the tango as Last FOOTSIE In Paris!!!!!"
