YOU KNOW HOW it is. You’ve sat down for over an hour to pour your heart into an e-mail to congratulate one of Ireland’s finest athletes of all time.
You’ve dotted the Ts, crossed the Is… you just don’t have either Rob or Marian Heffernan’s e-mail address.
You don’t have their real-life address either, but you put your faith in those trusty people at An Post to take your loose direction and turn it into a magical moment dropping from the front door of Chez Heffernan.
“Rob Heffernan & Family, Gold medal winner, Cork.”
Sure what else do you need to know about the man?
Compare that kind of fame level (hitherto only seen from the likes of young Horan out of One Direction or Christy Moore) to poor wee Craig Gilroy.
It just goes to show; you may be an international rugby star, but that doesn’t mean anybody at Starbucks will care what your name is.
Enjoy your americano, Greg!
