Cork City fan Pat Murray, 83, relishing return to Turner's Cross after year watching from afar

A LIFETIME OBSESSION: Cork City fanatic Pat Murray has seen great players come, and go. From 50s icon Raich Carter, through Jackie Lennox, the Noonan brothers, Tommy Moroney, Dave Wiggington, Donie Wallace, Dave Barry, Kevin Doyle, and Seani Maguire. ‘I think Seani was the best City have had. He was unbelievable when he was here,’ Pat says.

It'll be an emotional occasion when Pat Murray takes his seat in the Donie Forde Stand in Turner’s Cross tomorrow night.

Pat has been following Cork football through nine different decades.
