‘Sheer and utter pity’ becomes Brian’s obsession

THERE is no doubt about it. Brian Kennedy is totally and utterly fanatical about his team. Such is his devotion to his side, he’s re-mortgaged his house twice to fund his obsession.

But it’s not from his hometown Waterford United football team that he gets his kicks. He prefers to regularly make seven-hour return trips overseas to watch his side play.

His devotion is all the more remarkable as he doesn’t follow a Premiership side. Neither are they in the three lower divisions. Exeter City are in fact playing in the Conference.
