This Offaly man goes to Wimbledon every year and steals the show with his GAA jersey

Talk about dedication.

IF YOU WERE watching Wimbledon on BBC Two this afternoon, chances are you may have spotted something rather unusual at Victoria Azarenka’s match against Heather Watson: a spectator wearing an Offaly jersey.

Let’s just say it didn’t go unnoticed.

Now that’s dedication to your county.

Bizarrely enough, this isn’t the first time this particular gentleman has rocked up to Wimbledon in his county jersey.

There he is repping the Faithful in 2015.

And again in 2013.

And apparently again in 2011!

Back in 2015, Will O’Callaghan from Midlands 103 identified the Offaly fan as Pat Cornally from Clara, Co. Offaly and stated that he attends the tournament every year.

Brilliant. The true star of Wimbledon.

    Duffy is going to be big, last man to beat McGregor and Parke, that KO in his last fight was world class.

    Genuine question, why isn’t Neill Seery someone to watch in 2015?
