IF what we've read is true, we reckon high-flying Leinster Senior League side Aer Lingus might have to ask the GAA for a loan of Croke Park to host their remaining fixtures this season. Why? Apparently Westlife singer and all round sex God Brian McFadden (right) wants to play for them when he gets back from touring the globe very soon.

"He might be a famous singer, but if he is not good enough then he won't be getting a game," warned Aer Lingus boss Jimmy Downes. Hang on Jimmy: If you promise to give Brian a run you'll be guaranteed a crowd of 78,000 frenzied nine-year-old girls, and you'll sell at least 14 million replica Aer Lingus shirts over the internet (McFadden, No 10) to teenyboppers from Tokyo to Timbuktu. Come the summer, Aer Lingus will be in a position to put in bids for Rivaldo and Raul. Jimmy? Have a think about this.
