A walk on the mild side

MANY thanks to the literally tens of readers who contacted the Sports Desk inquiring after your correspondent’s health in the light of last week’s ‘Letter From Euro 2008’, in which told of how I had tweaked the hammer while running for a tram in Zurich.

Typical of the response, I believe, was an e-mail from Overjoyed, Youghal who wrote: “I was eating my lunch when I heard that your over-paid, under-worked, so-called sports reporter had sustained a hamstring injury while swanning around Europe on another freebie soccer jaunt. I would just like you to know that I laughed so hard, I succeeded in passing an entire ham sandwich through my nose.

“PS More GAA, please”.
