We coulda been a contender!
Into my inbox yesterday popped a press release headed: “FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour by Coca-Cola to visit Ireland.”
A first brief glance made me think that April 1 was coming earlier than Christmas but, no, the relevant dates are April 3 to April 6 next year when the 14 and half-inch high, 13lb, solid gold trophy will go on display in Dublin – details to be announced in the New Year – as part of a world tour in the build-up to the finals in South Africa next summer.
