What insights does Keith Treacy share about wearing the Kerry jersey?
Well, it's important to put in some bit of experience along with the newbies because they need a bit of direction.
It was a big night for a lot of them for the first time wearing the Kerry jersey in a competitive environment. Thank God for Keith Friday. It says Rick Jagger. Very welcome back to the end of the show. Arthur is back with us. Arthur, hello. That's correct. Keith is still here and very relieved. Very relieved, yeah. Physically so. Describe the last few minutes.
Me back teeth have been swimming. I've been a little bit uncomfortable here.
I've been dying for a week. And welcome for the first time today, Dara Smith. Knock the... Hello, boys. How's it going? Good morning. So, plenty of Keith Fridays to get through. What order did you put your gear on before a game?
Em... Not, like, there was no massive thing I used to do. I used to get me slips on, then go and get a little massage in me slips. I used to have a whole Tonka thing I used to do, Jordan, that. You remember Tonka in Mike Bassett, England Manager? Yeah, yeah. I used to walk around in me slips pretending to be Tonka after me massage for a while. It depends on what sort of... Tonka was the Gaza character, was he? Yeah, the Gaza character, yeah.
That's 25 years old this year, that movie.
Is it?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Iconic.
Nothing mental. I wasn't like a Paul Insta. I used to walk down the tunnel without my top on and put it on at the last second. There was nothing like that.
So you went socks, shorts, boots, tape, jersey. I never liked tape. I used to, you know, remember when tape was massive in the 2000s. Loads and loads of white tape.
Then the referees got all over it and said, Euro 2012, they can't do that anymore.
What unique pre-game rituals does Keith Treacy have?
Nicholas Bentler had to colour in his tape to match the socks.
They started chopping the ankles off the socks for you. So they just came as normal socks without ankles.
That's right.
Yeah, I had no major routine I used to do. Whichever way I felt.
Is it okay to wear a jersey or top of a team in the same league as the team you support? In brackets, not a rival team.
No. No, that's utter woke nonsense that is. That's half and half scarf stuff. That's not for me either.
DSN, welcome. So yeah, I'm a Man United fan. but I recently bought a Bournemouth jumper, a retro Bournemouth jumper. Is that, that's not acceptable? No, no. No, I'm not having that. It's a nice jumper.
It's fine to do. You can do it. You can do it if you want. Like, it wouldn't be a thing, but I'd question how deeply held the fandom is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a strange conversation. Like, if I see you in a pub and I go, oh, Bournemouth fan, don't see many of them. No, I'm actually a Knight fan. I go, oh, that's weird.
Yeah. It's just not for me. I haven't worn it yet because I'm, like, still pondering whether this was a good purchase or not.
Is this new? Oh, sorry, it's an old one. So you're on vintage or whatever? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen it. I've seen it. Abroad, fine.
It's good.
You can go and get like a Fiorentina, Milan, whatever you want, fire away. I'm all right with that.
With Steve Marlena number 11 on the back. Look at how he turned out. Has Keith ever used his status as a footballer, ex-footballer, to get anything, in brackets, clean, to which I read anything cleaned, like a dry cleaner is very specifically. And the follow-up to this is in quotes, do you know who I am? Ever do that?
no I never I never did that sort of stuff I know people within my group would do it my brother used to pretend to be me quite a lot used to tell bouncers do you not know who I am when he wasn't he was Martin Tracy not Key Tracy how did that go down what was the next line with that Just like when he's not getting in, he's like, do you know who I am? I'm an Irish international. And lo and behold, he would end up getting into nightclubs as well on the back of it. And what a lot of the players used to do, there was Tony Hickey was the Giovanni Trapattoni's bodyguard and he knew all the night security in Dublin. So anytime you weren't allowed in. you just ring Tony and Tony get on the phone to somebody and you'd be in the back door so I never really had to give it the whole you know who I am but I got all the perks that everybody else did off the PFA like the Mercedes cars and everything else little holidays and stuff like that that the PFA would chuck in but no I never threw that sort of stuff around I'd rather fly under the radar
