Episode 1344: Kellie Harrington On Winning A World Title, Representing Dublin 1, And Fighting Katie Taylor; Liverpool United Preview
Eoin doesn’t like to choose favourites… but Kellie Harrington was DEFINITELY his favourite guest at our end-of-year live shows. We bring you our chat with Ireland’s newest world amateur boxing champion on today’s show.
Kellie tells us about growing up in Dublin 1, choosing the right path in life, why she’s so proud of her community, working at a psychiatric hospital, holding a grudge, nearly packing boxing in 100 times, and jumping at the chance to fight Katie in the pro game.
Thanks so much to everyone who came last night to show support ???? so proud to represent our community NEIC @dccsportsrec @nialring @LordMayorDublin #D1 #ProudCommunity pic.twitter.com/Twf0g1vpdw

We also preview Liverpool V Man United at the start of today’s show. Ken expects to see Gilet Jose rather than tailored suit Jose. Ken also picks his Combined XI, compares Alexis Sanchez to an underused motorcycle and ponders the last time Liverpool were so fancied to beat Man United.
28 years, 8 months, 28 days.
The last time Man United went into a game against Liverpool 16 points behind their rivals: https://t.co/H5VeTQOPY4 pic.twitter.com/0insNm5w9N

Mourinho says Liverpool success is about more than just spending: ‘A football team is like a house. A house is not just about buying the furniture. You have to do work in the house and when the house is ready, then you buy the furniture.’ #mufc
