A true gentleman on and off the field

Ronan O’Gara to me, is the true gentleman on and off the field.

He is neither success nor failure, but a person.

The true Academy Awards are for being a decent person and Ronan is one.

While every sport has its fair weather supporters, to me, a sportsperson or team thrives on unconditional support. No team can win every game, but I imagine we all need a “win” to keep the spirits up in any aspect of life.
