FORMER Austin Stacks player Mike Finn has unwittingly found himself part of a Youtube video that has gone viral around the globe.
Mike Finn in action for Ireland in International Aussie Rules.
In the video Mike, an Australian Rules player, is being interviewed on a football field (still wearing the black and amber). In the background, a man carrying a child tries to catch a ball but instead drops the infant to the ground.
The former Rockie who represented Kerry at all levels picked up an U21 Munster Championship medal for his county in 2002 and in the same year was part of the senior panel who lost to Armagh in the All-Ireland Final.
Since then Mike has emigrated to Australia and has represented Ireland in Aussie Rules playing in the 2005 and 2008 International Cup Competitions, which is a World Cup of Aussie Rules minus Australia.
Mike has also represented Ireland 15 times in Basketball and is currently playing his adopted code of Aussie Rules with the Heidelberg Football Club in Victoria, Australia.
No doubt Mike has shown better handling for his clubs in both codes down the years than the hapless footie fan in the video.
