Inside John Giles' life with wife & kids from Man United breakthrough to Leeds icon and legendary RTE pundit
JOHN Giles has been a legendary figure in Irish football for over a half-century between his starring days on the pitch to his lengthy career as a pundit. Born in 1940, he made the trip across the Irish Sea from Dublin when he was only 16 to join Manchester United after getting spotted by a scout while playing for Stella Maris. Advertisement 3 The 84-year-old was inducted into the FAI's Hall of Fame in 2021 3 It was at Leeds United where he really blossomed into a star Credit: PA:Press Association 3 He was a staple of RTE's coverage of club and international football for 30 years Credit: Times Newspapers Ltd While he did break into the first team and racked up 99 appearances for the Red Devils, he was deemed surplus to requirements by legendary manager Matt Busby in 1963. Busby would go on to rue selling him to one of the club's fiercest rivals in Leeds United. At Elland Road Giles Over the course 12 seasons ion Yorkshire, the midfield playmaker helped the side win two First Division league titles, an FA Cup, a League Cup while they also lifted the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup twice. Advertisement Read More On Irish Football Giles was also central to their run to the European Cup final of 1975 where victors Bayern Munich were aided in their 2-0 win by several highly suspect refereeing decisions. The latter years of his playing career were spent at West Brom (1975-1977), a stateside stint at Philadelphia Fury (1978) and Shamrock Rovers (1977-1983) where he acted as player-manager. MEDIA CAREER In 1986 he embarked upon what was to become an iconic second act as a broadcaster with RTE. He was the national broadcaster's "senior analyst" throughout its heyday both from its free-wheeling analysis days as well as a golden period for the Republic of Ireland men's national team.

Together, Giles, Dunphy and Brady became affectionately known as "The Three Amigos" in an era where their pre and post-match chat was often more entertaining than the games themselves. Arsenal announce new five-year contract for Myles Lewis-Skelly after Real Madrid eyed shock free transfer He was eventually given the boot by RTE at the conclusion of Euro 2016 when his contract was allowed to expire. But his voice is still heard on a weekly basis during his Thursday slot on Off the Ball.

The pair have six chilldren, four sons and two daughters. Two of their sons wound up following in their dad's footsteps by playing for Shamrock Rovers.

Paddy McKillen Jr cuts his asking price for Loftus Hall to €3m
When he put the property – which overlooks Hook peninsula and the landmark Hook lighthouse – on the market earlier this year, agents Colliers were guiding €4.5m for it. But they are now guiding €3m. Mr McKillen Jr's development company, Oakmount, is reported to have paid €1.75m for the manor-style house and 68 acres in 2022 and spent millions more on its restoration, with plans to transform it into a luxurious boutique hotel. Reputed to be Ireland's most haunted house, it comprises a detached nine-bay, three-storey house with a total gross internal area of 2,460 sqm (26,487 sqft). Mr McKillen Jr has a passion for refurbishment of old properties and has revamped a number of Dublin hospitality venues in recent years. At Loftus Hall, he has brought phase one of an ambitious redevelopment to near completion with the creation of 22 upstairs bedrooms, restored the roof, replastered the façade and built a new bar and restaurant. He also undertook plans for phase two offering an additional 56-bedroom hotel wing, a spa and fitness centre, dedicated wedding venues, 33 standalone garden cottages, and 10 eco pods positioned throughout the grounds. The building dates back to 1870 and the site dates back to Redmond Hall, which traces its history to 1350. It is named after the Loftus family who undertook extensive renovations in anticipation of a visit by Queen Victoria which never happened. In 1890, the last remaining member of the Loftus family died, and the estate was put up for sale. It was later operated as a convent by the Sisters of Providence and then between the 1980s and late 1990s as the Loftus Hall Hotel. In 2011, the property was acquired by the Quigley family and opened to the public as a tourist attraction centred on its ghostly reputation. The launch of the haunted tours proved very popular at the time, given that many ghost stories have passed from one generation to the next with alleged horrific events that seemingly took place within its four walls. According to storyteller Kieran Fanning in his book Haunted Ireland: An Atlas of Ghost Stories from Every County, one 18th century story relates to Lady Anne Tottenham who, while playing cards there, discovers the man she is playing with has cloven feet. For months afterwards, Anne is haunted by the devil but he is eventually exorcised by a Fr Thomas Broaders. It was speculated that Anne's father may have put out the story of the devil to keep the locals away and to stop them from discovering that Anne was pregnant.
