well said PM. Healy what’s a horrible thing to say about Tom who is now one of the institutions of the league. Always found him friendly in a gruff sort of way. A good lad who does nobody any harm.

Tom's a great character. True he can be a bit of head wreck but jesus when he shows up at your ground you know you've made it. The finest LOI supporter in the country

He lived in both Bray and I think he is still living around Ballybofey. He's originally from Cork/Kerry border area i think.

He made numerous visits to Gortakeegan too back in the day. A character as said but always nice to have a chat with in his own way.
@Healy, disgusting judgemental comments from you.

He's living in ballybofey these days would often see him about town and chat about the league with him. No harm in him and a great servant to the league

He moved to Donegal from Bray a couple of years back. He goes all over the country though. He attends as many games as possible. He is certainly made feel more welcome at certain clubs.

He used live in a convent in Buttevant in Cork. You'd often see him thumbing around the area on a Friday morning.

One of things I really miss about not going to games is walking in and meeting Tom and him telling me that we’re rubbish. He used to do this when we were good as well.

Gave him a lift after a Galway utd match in Dundalk a couple of years ago. Wanted to be dropped in Ardee. This was about 11pm at night.
Was wondering where he'd go for the night,b he said he was sorted. Grand man to have a quick chat to the few times I've met him.

He always stays in Ardee with an old lady who runs a B&B. Gave him a lift many a time. I enjoy listening to him. He knows very little about football and goes to the matches as its probably where he feels part of something. He's a gentleman.

He doesn't drink and I believe he is quite religious. Normally that turns people into ****s, but in Tom's case he seems to get something out of it.

A LOI legend Does he pay in to the games does anyone know? Or do clubs all know him at this stage and let him in? I remember him in Tolka in the late 90's telling me how sh1t Shels were. If only I listened
