    What an athlete! Irish, US and World handball champion in both singles and doubles, all at the same time. The first person ever to do so. Quite an achievement for any Irish person. The man has done Mullahoran, Cavan and Ireland proud.

    Fair play to the Gunner!

    If only the rest of the Cavan GAA had the heart and commitment that this man has.

    Well done Gunner!

    That was the Ultimate Handball Showdown in Seattle Feb 04.
    He won $50,000 by beating the legendary David Chapman in what was the greatest handball match of all time in the opinion of most who saw it.

    Besides his spectacular handball, Brady's athleticism and fitness are at the level only a few elite athletes in the world could match. His combination of speed, strength, stamina, reflexes, flexibility and co-ordination has to be seen to be believed.

    He's a freak athlete (in the good sense).

    If you ever get the chance to see him play, take it.
