  • Richard Harris & Peter O'Toole at The European Rugby Cup Final, 2000.
    Richard Harris (1930 - 2002), a talented rugby player was on several Munster Junior and Senior Cup teams for Crescent, and played for Garryowen.
    Harris might have become a provincial or international-standard rugby player, but his athletic career was cut short when he caught tuberculosis in his teens.
    He remained an ardent fan of Munster Rugby and Young Munster until his death, attending many of their matches with the actors and fellow rugby fans Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton.
    Peter O'Toole is a noted fan of rugby union, and used to attend Five Nations matches with friends and fellow rugby fans Richard Harris, Kenneth Griffith, Peter Finch and Richard Burton. (O'Toole, Harris and Burton have a combined 17 Oscar nominations.) He is also a lifelong player, coach and enthusiast of cricket, of which O'Toole is licensed to teach and coach.

      Yes. They were great friends, from acting school when both were young all the way up to Richard Harris' death.

    EVERYTHING the wonderful Mr Harris said is ringing so true, about Limerick men and most of all why English soccer has "gone to Hell"
