Enigmatic, mercurial, magnificent. The footballing artist that is Tony Sheridan joins The Michael Anthony Show to discuss a career in football that saw him go from teen sensation in the English Premier League, to cult hero with Shelbourne FC. Considered to be one of the most naturally gifted footballers that Ireland has ever produced, the uncapped Sheridan reflects on his failure to fulfill his potential in England and how he effortlessly became immortalized on the River Tolka. Having played against giants such as Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal all by the age of eighteen, the Crumlin natives insight into the game is truly fascinating. With character to match his ability, the sideburned, collar popping Sheridan was a true nineties centrepiece, and Irish football’s very own Liam Gallagher shares his story that took him from rubbing shoulders with Eric Cantona, to the dreary fields of Portadown.
