Dubupnorth I reckon this was a rugby player with the pen miss clue - so prob Tony Ward - I know he played for Limerick and Sham Rovers. Don't think Ollie C played LoI.

Ollie

Ollie I reckon this is Martin O'Neill even though it was not technically a Champs League medal at that time. I think he won a schools All Ireland (as well as a McRory) and then won the European Cup with Nottingham Forest (although not called the Champions league at the time).

Jayo. Martin O'Neill, beaten in All Ireland colleges final by Colaiste chriost Ri I think. Said in an interview with Jimmy Magee that it was the biggest dissappointment still in his life. Played all Ireland minor semi final with derry in 1970. Beaten by Kerry.So I think he did not win an all Ireland medal.
