Paul’s ball signed by Brazilians

-

I came across a little piece from 35 years ago when four year old Paul Turner, of Bryanstown, was the winner of a football signed by the Brazilian football team.

He was presented with the ball by Benny Mohan of the Weavers who raffled the ball and raised £400 for St. Ita’s School. The ball was sponsored by Centronics and Mick Fairtlough

got it signed by the Brazilians when he was in Brazil playing for Ireland. Does Paul still have the ball I wonder?
