John Evans, me and our very own Saipan on Strand Road

Roscommon are flying high this week after their second successive promotion under the watchful gaze of Killorglin’s John Evans.

It isn’t unreasonable to suggest he must be one of Kerry’s most successful managers and one of county’s greatest exports, along with the butter and milk crowd of course.

I was managed by John back in the mid noughties when he took over Kerins O’Rahilly’s senior team for two years.
