IF YOU’RE ONLY just realising today is Father’s Day… well, that’s not very sound is it?
Not like this selection of aul’ fellas who can be our dad any day of the week.
So here, in no particular order, are seven of the soundest dads in sport.
Happy Father’s Day!

BOD is sound. Amy Huberman is also sound. And young Sadie can always tell her mates she was on the field when Ireland won a Six Nations title.
When your dad is sound enough to let you steal the show despite the fact he’s about to win an NBA title, you know he’s a legend.

Who wouldn’t want to play for their dad at the highest level of club football? Sound.
This retiring Russian footballer was sound enough to let a 5-year old who wasn’t even his own son replace him — and score — in his final ever game.
Relations between the two haven’t always been easy but when your dad is de facto father to an entire high school that’s understandable. Clear eyes, sound heart, can’t lose.
