The almost 20-minute interview was only 20 seconds old when Gavin O’Shea made reference to “Pat”.

Having been asked to explain the origins of the very specific conducting role he plays for Dr Crokes, Gavin replied that when “Pat” returned as manager in 2016, he took him out of the inside line that he sporadically frequented and repurposed him at No.11 where the full-time brief was to control and tie the play.
