As widely reported this morning, John Delaney went home shoeless last night, after getting literally carried away in Sopot square. Not since George W was left shocked and awed by a flying sole maintainer has there been such a search for one pair of shoes. Rumours of Delaney waiting in a presidential suite, feet bare, ready to try on every pair of shoes sent his way, Cinderella style, are said to be wide of the mark.
We put the call out earlier and the boys who went to Poland in an ice cream van have answered. Now we have yet to verify the authenticity of their claims that this is indeed one of John's shoes but for a man doing a lot of walking between bars, stadia and hotels, they appear to be the sort of smart business casual choice that would match the outfits he has been spotted in already. How many pairs of brogues does a Waterford man bring on holidays with him, surely its more than one?
Clearly his star has risen somewhat in Poland as it appears they are trying to gain some of his powers by knocking back some alcohol from his shoe.. perhaps you pour water into it and out comes wine.. Any more videos/pictures - you know where to send them [email protected]
