Recorded in front of a HOT Dublin crowd, we hear the story of Ireland's tennis champ, Vere St Leger Goold... and the story takes quite a few twists and turns along the way!
This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 08:02 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).

Do Go On acknowledges the traditional owners of the land we record on, the Wurundjeri people, in the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to elders, past and present.
