Ross O'Carroll-Kelly was the captain of the Castlerock College team that won the Leinster Schools Senior Cup in 1999. It's rare that a day goes by when he doesn't mention it. He is the managing director of his father's confidential document disposal business, Shred Focking Everything. He is a legendary socialite, libertine and seducer, who has been described as "Ireland's most eligible married man" and "the greatest Irish player never to actually make it in the game".
