“Joe O’Brien, Gene Cullen and myself. I was known as “cocker”. I’m wearing a pinstripe suit and a Crombie coat. Joe must have thought he was in Goodfellas with his black shirt and white tie. We were only sixteen or seventeen and we used to go the Carlton Picture House. We might have looked like lads who were set to cause a bit of mischief, but we were harmless; dressed up to the nines and big into sport.”
