Glory Olé-luia as soccer fans go classical

FANS of Cork City FC might be used to singing at the top of their voices but rarely would they grace the terraces of Turner’s Cross with Glory Alleluia.

However, last night’s half-time entertainment took on a distinctly cultural air with the crowds being treated to the talents of Irish operatic singer Nyle Wolfe.

After the first half had produced no goals in the top-of-the-table Eircom League of Ireland clash between Cork City and St Patrick’s Athletic, the fans probably needed a bit of a lift and the world-renowned baritone duly obliged, singing Glory Alleluia and My Way from the centre of the pitch at the interval.
