… a little blast from the past (.. well a long way back, 1957) Kevin Blount was Longford goalie when they played their games in the Park … Kevin was Muhammed Ali before he was invented often putting the roller between the posts and lying on his back pretending to be asleep … a great entertainer and a great footballer to boot ….
