Stunt-seeking priest to launch his biography

A DEFROCKED priest, noted for his outrageous publicity stunts, is expected to return home this weekend for the first time in many years — for the launch of his biography.

Neil Horan, 63, captured the attention of the world’s media for his near-fatal attempt to disrupt the British Grand Prix at Silverstone and, again, during his notorious tackle on a Brazilian marathon runner at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

He also forecast the end of the world and has since apologised for getting that “hopelessly wrong’.
