He Aint Heavy He's My Brother

Michael Murphy was walking around Dublin the night before the big Ireland v England rugby match at Croke Park, when he was approached by 2 gentlemen. One spoke to Michael, and asked him, "Are you Cormac Murphy's brother?" The two gentlemen, Jez Hercock & Pat Talbot, are friends of mine from Loughborough, where we played rugby together. Jez saw the likeness and thought Michael had to be my brother. Quite remarkable in a city of over 3 million people! Michael's friends couldn't believe it and thought it was a set up.
Frankly, I can't see the likeness myself.
