WITH THE WORLD Cup in full swing, it’s meant that we’re seeing (and more importantly) hearing a lot more Brian Kerr than normal.
The former Republic of Ireland boss is the hardest working man in Irish football and does more research than most pundits combined. Famous for his incredible descriptions of players and the action, he’s become one of our favourite co commentators ever.
I know shit all about football, but Brian Kerr is great. Right?

Don’t believe me? Here’s 12 more tweets to prove it.
He tells it exactly like it is.

Lads, I googled it. It’s a novel from 1982. #RTEsoccer #CRCSRB pic.twitter.com/h3f2roiS4b
We’d like him to commentate on everything really.
I won’t lie, I would pay a small sum of money to have Brian Kerr’s voice direct me on Google Maps.

We’re nearly all agreed on one thing though.
Brian Kerr is an absolute gem and so refreshing. He’s got a few dingers in the back pocket. Always loved him. National Treasure.

We’d fight his corner any day.
Brian Kerr must be protected at all costs
— Marcus Oglesby (@marcus_gilly) June 18, 2018
And we won’t tolerate any bad mouthing.

God bless you Brian.
Listening to Brian Kerr using highly specialised Dublin slang to describe the events in exotic football matchups is, for some of us connoisseurs, one of the truest pleasures of the world cup
