Last week Dave, O’Connor of Suits Distributors Ireland, presented the United boss with a camán made by Cork’s Teddy McCarthy, the only man to win senior hurling and football titles in the same year.

O’Connor, who was measuring Ferguson for a new suit, revealed the Scot was well up on his GAA knowledge.
