    there was one fellow who was a noted good player.
    The English crowd as usual wishing to have a great laugh on the Irish, got this particular fellow's coat and on it drew an ass's head.
    Both teams returned afterwards to their dressing rooms. The Irish man seeing the ass's head on his coat turned around to the English crowd and said, "Hey lads which of you wiped your face in my coat."
