Kilkenny soccer club Newpark FC have jokingly taken some credit for the recent success of former Irish international Keith Andrews, who secured his first win as Brentford manager on Saturday. - PICTURES BELOW
Andrews, who played for a range of clubs including Hull, West Brom and Watford, was announced as the surprise replacement of Thomas Frank in the managerial hot seat last summer.
Perhaps, Newpark had a role to play in his rise to a top Premier League job?
"With the news breaking that Keith Andrews has taken the reigns at English Premier League club Brentford we contacted Keith for comment.
"Here's what he said: "I remember visiting Newpark AFC a few years back, seeing such a great community club gave me the drive to get into coaching. Such lovely people and great aul craic. I owe a lot of this to my friends there," the post added.
"We feel humbled by his response. The very best of luck Keith, we'll all be keeping an eye on your team," the post concluded.
