The gentle giant who 'kicked some ball'

The funeral Mass of Anton O'Toole takes place this afternon in Mount Argus Church.

I first met Anton approximately a year ago. We were chatting a few minutes before I asked him where he had been at school. 

When he told me he had been at Synge Street I asked him if he was the famous Dublin footballer he replied: " Ah, I kicked some ball when I was a young fella."
