AP McCoy was part of the wide ranging Team Limerick clean-up yesterday along with Ireland rugby captain Paul O'Connell. The legendary jockey gave a wide ranging interview with the Limerick Leader's Alan English in which he speaks about his career, the similarities with O'Connell and what makes JP McManus tick.
Indeed it is the "boss" and the man behind the Team Limerick clean-up initiative that McCoy rates as more competitive than even O'Connell:
I’ll tell you this much – he’s more competitive than me or Paul O’Connell. You can write that – and if he doesn’t like it, he can lump it. Because I’m just telling the truth. People mightn’t think it, but that’s the way it is.
If you are playing golf against him and you have a bet, if it’s for a pound then he wants that pound off you. He’ll have his hand out on the 18th green, waiting for the pound. And it’s not the pound that matters – well, it’s maybe the pound as well – but he’s got a smile on his face when he has beaten you.
It's a terrific interview that can be read in full here.
