Talk:Wayne McCullough
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I really like the way this article has developed since two months ago when it was just this stub; it's looking really good now. Congrats to all those who have contributed. I just have one doubt. Is it true that Wayne was boxing for Ireland when he won his silver medal? Considering he was born in Northern Ireland and fought for N.I. in the Commonwealth Games, I would have thought he would have gone to the Olympics in the United Kingdom team. Can anyone clarify this? --GringoInChile 15:33, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Not sure of the reasons why, but McCullough did compete for the Republic of Ireland in '92. Maybe he wasn't offered a place in the British team. He's a protestant from the Shankill Road, making it one of the rare instances of religion staying out of Northern Irish sport. Stu 09:13, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
