Eamon Sweeney
Eamon ‘Swench’ Sweeney is a former East Leinster 800m bronze medalist, although his track and field career didn’t subsequently set the world on fire. The committed Shamrock Rovers fan and part owner decided that he was much better at watching sport and rhapsodising about music and pop culture for Hot Press and the Irish Independent.
