John Joe McGinley first appeared on my podcast back in 2021, EP 43. This time around via a car journey,  we talk about similar topics as our previous interview but in a much updated way. Last time John Joe was a guest he had not long released his first book 'Irish Wise Guys', fast forward to today John Joe has 3 books available for purchase, and we talk about his new releases in depth along with his future plans for more book releases. On top of this I talk to John Joe about the great work he does campaigning for autism awareness, a great example of this is the website he and his wife contribute to autismdad.ie, where they try to help others from the knowledge gained from their own experiences. John Joe is also a huge Celtic FC fan. Last time out I asked him to name his all time Celtic XI, this time around he names his 5 biggest Celtic heros. Support the show

John Joe Nevin is one of Ireland's greatest ever amateur boxers - and some would say THE greatest. He completed the full set of medals - two World Championships bronze (2009, 2011), European Championships gold (2013) and Olympic Games silver (2012). Along the way he put in some of the finest performances Irish boxing fans have ever seen, with the best undoubtedly his London 2012 semi-final win over Cuban world champ Lazaro Alvarez. Now he's set up his own club, Mullingar Shuffler Boxing Club, after the nickname former Ireland coach Billy Walsh gave him while marvelling at his exploits during those Games. Nevin's produced his first Irish champ - son Martin got the honour - so The Rocky Road paid him a visit down in Co Westmeath to discuss a career that started out with a hiding (he was eight, the other guy was 12) and ended up with him being No 1 in the world.

We finish off 1 in 10 covering John-Joe O'Toole who Aidy took with him to his role at Colchester after leaving Watford. We find out why John-Joe nearly had the team singing "You're supposed to be at home!" before hearing about Aidy's post Watford career and experiences including being on the other end of a play off final, a dog called "Gino" and Pete tries to explain the cock-spaniels attached to DNSYE!! We hear about the importance of character in recruitment and the balance again needed in a squad and lessons learned from the Red Arrows about constructive criticism. Making sure you pick the right job, learning from victories AND failures and Aidy's experiences with the England set up with the Under 19'2, 20's, 21's and going with the England team to World Cup in Russia!! We hear about Aidy's experience managing in India and enjoying the differences in culture and embracing the challenges that football in a new country can bring a manager.Finally, and with TC now taking the hot seat at the Vic we ask Aidy what advice Aidy of 2024 would give to Aidy of 2005 - having gained experience in a career that was never afraid to step out of its own comfort zone.We just want to say, again, a massive thank you to Aidy who was great fun and incredibly generous to us with his time, patience and tales. He didn't duck or decline any questions and was truly touched by the reception he received at the recent Hull City game.

John Joe Nevin is on the comeback trail. Out of the ring since 2019, he's signed a new management deal with a Las Vegas-based fight fixer and is ready to dream of world titles again. But he knows, as he approaches his 35th birthday, that time is not on his side. Nevin won the lot as an amateur - World, European and Olympic medals - and is clearly one of the GOATs in that code. But it's ten years since his pro debut, and ten years since he suffered terrible leg injuries during an attack in Mullingar - after which he was told he would never box again before being put in a wheelchair. Somehow Nevin managed to box again that very year, twice in fact, before moving to Philadelphia to spar alongside none other than rising star (and his coach's son) Boots Ennis, who is now one of boxing's leading names. At this stage Nevin's had more managers than Watford FC and he discusses snubbing Amir Khan as well as his short-lived signing for a bizarre double act of Billy Joe Saunders and Daniel Kinahan - before US sanctions put paid to that. It's definitely been a Rocky Road for the Mullingar Shuffler in the pro ranks but he's ready to knock a bit of dust and a bit of rust off the motor and take it for another spin… Hosted on Acast.

John Joe McGirl – an unbreakable FenianIn the course of almost 60 years of activism I have been very lucky to meet many wonderful, committed, compassionate republicans. On Saturday, in Ballinamore in County Leitrim, Republicans from Leitrim and beyond will gather to celebrate the life of one of these – John Joe McGirl. The annual John Joe McGirl commemoration is one of the highlights of the Ballinamore Festival Week and the participants will walk from John McGahern Square to the monument to John Joe opposite Amharclann an Oileáin (the Island Theatre). The monument was designed by Robert Ballagh.A master class on campaigningFéile an Phobail was a resounding success and in particular it provided a wonderful range of debates and conversations on the many issues surrounding constitutional change. Well done to Harry and Kevin, Sam and all the Féile team. Maith sibh. The quality of the debates was excellent. All were packed out. The breadth of speakers – academics, journalists, political and community activists, sports people, - and the many shades of opinion, including a greater number than before of people from the broadly cultural Unionist/Protestant tradition, was uplifting.
