Ken has been getting some love, but mainly hatred, from the social media world in the wake of his Jose diatribe on yesterday’s show. We check in with him on Day 5 of his latest attempt to quit smoking.

Pop quiz, podcasters – just who exactly is Peter O’Connor? In the pantheon of great Irish Olympic stories, he might just have the most extraordinary one of them all, as he celebrated a silver medal in the 1906 Intercalated Olympic Games in Athens with a protest which captured the imagination of the world.

 

We speak to Boston College professor Mike Cronin about his amazing story.

 

We also crown our first administrator of the week for 2018, and Felipe Coutinho becomes the first player to move clubs to ensure he CAN’T play Champions League football.
