Van Pelt and Former Donegal (League) Star Almost Come To Blows Over All Ireland Tickets
What started out initially as an amicable conversation between Bo Van Pelt and legendary former Donegal League benchwarmer John Farren from Ballyliffin Golf Club quickly turned nasty after Farren revealed he couldn’t sort Van Pelt out for All Ireland Final tickets.
Bo Van Pelt is very proud of his Irish roots and the fact his first name means “cow†in the Gaelic language. He’s also a huge fan of Gaelic Football and traces his ancestry back to the Van Pelts of Mayo who ruled the animal pelt business with an iron fist for centuries. When Farren revealed he once wore the Donegal colours in a league match (though no actual proof of this exists), relations between the two quickly became icy.
“I’ll never forget watching Willie Joe Padden and his bloodied headband against the Dubs, and Padraig Brogan’s goal was the best everâ€, Van Pelt said, adding “John O’Leary had no chance, he couldn’t even save it on the way back outâ€.
After Farren refused Van Pelt two of his allocation of 1,500 Hogan Stand Upper tickets, the big hitting American declared “It’s war bitch, it’s war, I know the County secretary anyway†before storming off.
