Troubled McGrath ‘extremely embarrassed’ over offences

A court has heard how troubled soccer star Paul McGrath is “extremely embarrassed” and finds it difficult to deal with the “very public humiliation” arising from his conduct.

The 53-year-old former Ireland international has agreed to give a day’s football coaching to youngsters after admitting to public order charges at Tullamore District Court yesterday.

He appeared in court on charges relating to an incident at the Tullamore Court Hotel on Jun 29.
