As if we needed another excuse to love Brian O'Drscoll any more than we already do.
O'Driscoll was making more dreams come true this morning when he called The Ray D'Arcy Show after listening to Niall and Michelle, two guests on the programme who were detailing their amusing story from last Saturday's clash against Italy, and their subsequent heartbreak about not meeting their hero Brian O'Driscoll after crashing the Team's dinner in the Four Seasons after the game.
Here's the e-mail that Niall sent into Today FM, outlining the full story: (Via Today FM)
'Hi Ray,
I know my wife is not unique in her love for the Irish rugby team and ultimately Brian O' Driscoll...
But we attended Saturdays game and got word on where the team dinner was taking place Saturday night (four seasons in ballsbridge) so we made our way up there after the match. Michelle was hoping to get to meet her hero after many failed attempts!... So later on in the evening as the players made their way out of the hotel we managed to get to meet many of the players and management and get pictures etc.. As usual they are all so accommodating and make themselves available to everybody there..
She never got to meet Brian as we figured he probably left earlier with the day that was in it ..
She ended up having the day of her life.. Brian's last home game , being there, meeting a lot of the players and getting pics with them..
She hasn't stopped talking about it ... We shared the pics on Facebook and sent them to friends..a lot of people were asking her where was the pic with Brian as they all know she loves him! I got a call earlier from my mate graham that is in this pic with my wife Michelle .. He told me to open up the pic and zoom in over Michelle's head...
I did and to my horror it's BOD!!!!!
So technically she did get her pic taken with Brian .. But how do I tell her he was right behind her when I took this picture.. How did he get out by us!!!!
What do I do!!!!!! :)
Niall'
Niall and Michelle, in light of the email, were invited onto this morning's Ray D'Arcy Show to chat about the events. And, sher, wouldn't you know it, wasn't Brian listening in by chance, while having his morning feed, and, sher, didn't he go to the trouble of ringing in to make a woman's dreams come true. What a legend.
