Joe Brolly, who has a theory of everything, replaces Jim Gavin as Dublin manager. Thrilled to take over the team he feels are "saving football" he pushes Gavin's tactic of seven forwards further by replacing the full-back line with Paul Mannion and a couple of soccer free-stylers. Dubs wind up in Division 3 in two seasons and Brolly returns to Montrose in a gold car.
Desperate to get back into the RTÉ studios, George Hook, takes a job as Bective Rangers thirds forwards coach.

Never gets back on RTÉ panel. Tough luck, Johnny.
