Martin Lawlor: Martin is a neighbour of Charlie O’Leary’s hailing from East Wall in Dublin. He played in the street leagues, formed by Charlie, with his brothers in the 1960s. He went on to become a household name with Dundalk F.C. in the League of Ireland. 

In a National League career that spanned 20 years and nearly 650 games (447 League appearances), he spent 17 of them at Oriel Park, setting marks that are unlikely ever to be approached.His club record in the areas of appearances and competitive honours is the stuff of legends and he is the only paid up member of the two League-FAI Cup double squads, in 1978-79 under Jim McLaughlin and nine years later in 1987-88 under Turlough O’Connor.

Host Tom Watt: Tom Watt was born in London in 1956. He is probably best known in the UK as an actor and documentary film-maker, but has also worked extensively as an author and broadcaster for the past twenty years. In 2018, Watt ghost-wrote the autobiography of airline pilot Thomas Salme, a modern-day Catch Me If You Can story with its own unique twist, entitled 13 Years In Heaven and published in Italy by Cairo Editore. Last year, he ghost-wrote Andy Woodward’s autobiography, Position Of Trust, which was short-listed for the William Hill Sports Book Of The Year.
