Meyler insists he has no regrets

John Meyler believes his side can upset the odds against Kilkenny. He spoke to Diarmuid O’Flynn.

NON, je ne regrette rien. You’d hardly associate the rugged, bear-like John Meyler with waifish French chanteuse Edith Piaf, but, when asked if he had any regrets about taking over the poisoned chalice role of Wexford senior hurling manager for this year, that was his response – “Non, je ne regrette rien! (I regret nothing),” the song made famous in the early 60’s by Piaf.

More fittingly, perhaps, it was later adapted as an anthem by the hard men of the French Foreign Legion, to whom she dedicated the song.
