Eddie O'Sullivan almost set a world record for f**ks in a speech before Ireland-England in '07

The pre-match speech in 2007 required something fiery and Eddie delivered.

FORMER IRELAND COACH EDDIE O’Sullivan turned 56 today and to celebrate his birthday we dug through the archives to find this gem of him firing up his squad before Ireland played England at Croke Park back in 2007.

It was an emotional day and to get his team at the right pitch he needed to use a succinct four letter word again, and again and again.

By our estimation, in this 30 second speech he says f**k 12 times in a 24 second span, which averages out as a f**k every two seconds once he starts swearing. Impressive stuff.

The title of the video is ‘potty mouthed Eddie O’Sullivan’ which is brilliant in itself. By no means are we criticising Eddie’s swearing. In case you don’t remember, it worked out pretty well.

Happy birthday Eddie!
