Copilot/AI:

Quote
Family Nickname: According to Eamonn's brother, Michael, their father always called him his "little chicken".
Affectionate Origin: His father would often say, "Come on my little chick, we are off to football," as they headed to matches.

The nickname stuck with him throughout his successful career, during which he won a League Championship with Aston Villa (1981) and was part of their European Cup-winning squad in 1982. He is so revered in his native Galway that Terryland Park was renamed Eamonn Deacy Park in his honor after his death in 2012.

Re being on-sale tomorrow, I presume you've rejected the overtures of the card machine and cash is still king at H&V Towers/North Stand corner.

That will have to do, nipped up to Tesco to get cash out of the ATM for the book and passed the McGregor about 10 minutes before kick-off but assumed you'd sold-out or were in the ground as no-sign then or 15 minutes after the game ended.
