I never ran from King, scoffs unrepentant Dunphy

Eamon Dunphy has scoffed at the idea that he once had to flee from an angry Noel King but has backed up the Irish interim manager’s denial that he broke the TV pundit’s nose during their League of Ireland days in the late 70s.

“Did I run away from Noel King?” said Dunphy with a laugh yesterday.

“I don’t run away. It wouldn’t be hard to run away from Noel, he could barely run. It never happened. I think in his dreams.”
