No regrets and fond memories for Eddie

THE challenge of self-examination and self-revelation wasn’t one Eddie O’Sullivan took on lightly. As ever, he weighed the pros and cons and then he made his call.

“Before I started the book there was some trepidation because I’d be going back to the early part of your life, which nobody knows about, as well as the latter part, which everyone thinks they know everything about.

“But I enjoyed the whole process. It was cathartic to an extent, but I’m not doing the book on the basis that that’s the end of me and I’ll never do anything else. There were some things out there about me that weren’t true, and things can become urban myths if you don’t do something about it. I felt I’d write the book and let people make up their own minds.”
