Remembering Martin Sheridan - The greatest athlete of his generation

It’s Swinford Railway Station on Friday, 31 July 1908. 

A young Irish emigrant jumps down onto the platform carrying a case with his clothes in it. He is back in Mayo and intent on travelling to his father’s farm outside the nearby village of Bohola.

His name is Martin Sheridan — he had emigrated at the age of 18 to America and now, nine years later, he works for the New York Police.
