I wonder who he was?

I got a pair of football boots in a sports shop in Dun Laoghaire in about 1980 - anyhoo, this old lad who sold them to me told me he used to play for Everton. I wonder who he was? He probably wasn't that old, but to a 10year old everbody over 12 looks old. He was about 50 at a guess. Irish bloke, from Dublin going by his accent .

I know someone from where you live. She outdrank every single person we met in Australia, her family are still in Dun Laoghaire but not certain if she is. She's about 43.

He seemed genuine; my mother believed him anyway, and she's rather cynical.
