Niall Quinn at Barclays Exchange

A former footballer turned club chairman and television pundit has recalled his fondness for the Isle of Man.

Niall Quinn is best known for spells at Arsenal and Manchester City as well as with the Irish national team before becoming chairman of Sunderland.

Taking part in a Barclays organised debate last night about investment management and the football industry, Quinn remembered playing here for City in the mid 1990s.

But it was his first ever holiday as a 12 year-old boy which sparked the most vivid memories.
