Behan following Roy’s footsteps

“GOD is gone,” Denis Behan quipped when Roy O’Donovan finally left Cork City for Sunderland in August.

With John O’ Flynn seemingly ever liable to injury, the Rebel Army wondered where the goals would come from now, little knowing that the son of God was already in their midst.

Hitherto the striker in the gap for Cork, Behan has emerged in recent weeks as the team’s main source of goals, his hat-trick against Waterford United in the cup quarter-final replay on Tuesday night making it six in three games and confirming that the Abbeyfeale man is in the best form of his career.
