The Emperor of Irish Football's Champagne Dreams
The scene: a dimly lit hotel ballroom in Kilkenny. John Delaney celebrates his 50th birthday in extravagant James Bond style-complete with ice sculptures, cardboard cutouts of himself, and a cake modeled after the Aviva Stadium with working floodlights. As Delaney tearfully professes love for his fiancee Emma English, few guests realize the Football Association of Ireland is footing most of the 80,000 bill-despite the organization's precarious financial state. This lavish celebration perfectly encapsulates Delaney's reign: a blend of personal excess, powerful connections, and financial recklessness that would eventually bring Irish football to its knees. How did one man gain such control over an entire nation's football infrastructure while simultaneously driving it toward financial ruin?
