Meet the Kilkenny man helping Sheffield United connect with fans

The man behind that John Egan-Sunday Game clip hurls for Lancashire in between pit stops at Old Trafford, Anfield, The Emirates, and, this Saturday, Stamford Bridge

MOVING ON UP: Eoin Doyle and John Egan celebrate Sheffield United’s promotion to the Premier League in 2019.

Turns out Sheffield United’s YouTube channel is more popular in Myanmar than the Moors, their TikTok account is a major hit here in Ireland, and both Facebook and Twitter are online spaces to be enjoyed as well as feared.

It says it all about their start to this Premier League season that a 12-second viral clip of John Egan kicking the ball from his hands when it had gone out of play at Anfield, with The Sunday Game theme tune as a backing track, is one of the highlights so far.
