A perfect fan story to post for St. Patrick's Day, 2013!423 viewsMe, Duncan Purcell posing with The Legend!
I am a PGA Golf Professional at Ballybunion Golf Club, Ireland. Last spring on a quiet afternoon, I was in our Pro Shop and in walked Ben and 3 of his buddies. We don’t get much NFL here in Ireland, but I had followed Ben and his Steelers team from their Super Bowl run and win from the previous year. It’s always enjoyable meeting top sports people and personalities.
I had a brief exchange with his golfing partners, and then plucked up the courage to ask Ben for a hand shake. He was very obliging so I asked for a photo with him and he had no problem with this. I’ve met many personalities in my job but I have to say that Ben is so approachable and down to earth.
I have relatives in the States that are HUGE Steelers fans and they were just as happy as I was to meet the man himself.
Great guy. And I shall forever be a fan of his. He’s always welcome back to Ireland, and especially Ballybunion! – Duncan Purcell, County Kerry, Ireland
