Giles kicks to touch on Dunphy wedding news
Friday July 24 2009
SOCCER pundit Johnny Giles is not normally a man lost for words.
But when the sports commentator was yesterday asked for his reaction to the news that his old TV buddy Eamon Dunphy is to tie the knot in September, he decided to kick for touch.
Mr Dunphy (63) recently announced that his popular RTE radio show would not be returning in the autumn and that he is taking time out to write a new book.
Yesterday it was revealed that he is to marry his partner of 18 years, Jane Gogan, RTE's commissioning editor for drama, on September 24 at the Unitarian Church in Dublin.
Yesterday, fellow TV soccer panelist Johnny Giles said he knew nothing about Eamon's wedding plans.
When contacted, he said: "I don't know what reaction I can give you. To be honest I don't want to say anything."
