Strip club finances cash-strapped Brian in novel idea

A SOCCER enthusiast who re-mortgaged his house twice to fund his fanaticism to a luckless club has penned his second book — which is being sponsored by a strip club.

The latest publication tracks the fortunes of a hapless gambler. Thankfully, it’s not an autobiography, the father of two says.

Waterford man Brian Kennedy’s devotion to little-known British conference league club, Exeter City, saw him regularly make the seven-hour return journey overseas to watch his side play. His devotion to his side became the focus of his first book and a local radio documentary which scooped a major award. Now Brian has published a second book — this time a fictional publication which has been sponsored by a poll dancing club in his native city.
