What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Off the Ball, GAA. But like saying that, Cork and Limerick are definitely up there. They're definitely probably the two favourites with All-Ireland, really. Looking at for current form or the squads, they're probably the team that they potentially could put down on paper. Join in the obsession. Subscribe now at offtheball.com forward slash join.
The League of Ireland is live and exclusive again this Friday on Off The Ball. There's still time here. Last Friday night, the champions were battered by our tribal's bohemians. There was a late, late show, and to whom it may concern, Bradley's boys made sure this week's opponents were duly warned. Aaron Green has met a 3-2, a game that was over. Pretenders to the throne, Derry City came from behind to beat Waterford's, with a couple of late ones themselves, and talisman Mikey Duffy struck again.
It's picked up by Mikey Duffy.
On Friday, the Candy Stripes come to Dublin looking to throw the contest down to Rovers. Shamrock Rovers versus Derry City at Tallis Stadium is live and exclusive on Off the Ball from 7 this Friday on Newstalk and the Go Loud app.
off the ball breakfast Ireland's sports breakfast show more of that key Tracy goodness wherever you get your podcasts Johnny Courtney's with us good morning to you morning guys morning you've been posting some of your collection on Twitter recently and I was like come in and show us some of the jerseys that you have because the collection is outrageous
Yeah, I've been collecting for a very long time. So I have some unique stuff, some different stuff, some stuff that other people would have. But, you know, it's all hanging on rails. And without sharing this stuff in a non kind of showing off way, it's kind of, you know, there's a community of collectors. So you're kind of showing each other what you have. So I started posting some stuff recently and it gets a bit of traction. I was going to say, what's the response been like? Yeah, interesting. Mostly positive. People, you know, are going, oh, my God, how did you get that? They kind of want to know the backstory. I said, I'm kind of, as my missus would say, I'm a glorified hoarder. It's just I've been doing it a lot of time.
And you build up a kind of network of people, other collectors, people in brands, people in clubs, all that sort of stuff. And you kind of barter trade, like borrow, steal. And are you going to continue collecting?
Is this like a spring clean of...
There's a bit of a spring clean going on, to be fair, because I have come to the realisation at nearly 50 that I literally have too many. So I'm kind of doing a bit of a clean out. But there's certain things I'd never get rid of. And there's certain things that I'll always want to get. So I'm still on the lookout for certain things. But I'm happy to let some of the stuff go.
Does the hoarding translate to fashion? Do you wear what you collect online?
I don't really know, to be honest. I think you can devalue some of this stuff by actually wearing it because, I mean, all it takes is somebody to throw a point on you or, you know, get a pull in the jersey or something like that. And these things are all valued on a bit like the collectibles in terms of cards. It's all about the grades on the cards. There's a Horace Wagner card sold there the other day for $6.6 million. And rareness equals value in these things, obviously. Yeah. So the reason that went so high was because he disagreed. He said, I don't want my image on these cards because they were giving them out in cigarettes at the time just a hundred years ago. So there was only a couple of them made and one went for that kind of value.
Do you feel like a coffee lover in like 2010 before the boom? So like what do you make of all the love now of vintage football jerseys that everyone seems to be mad into?
Yeah, I mean, I get it. I mean, there's a trade-off between having something that maybe your older brother or your dad or something had versus just going out and buying the modern one where they're mass-produced and everybody kind of has one.
