He was dressed in the same attire: a black-and-white-striped jersey, white shorts, and boots that made clickety sounds against the floor as he walked, sods of muck and grass falling away from the studs. The only contrast was a number 9 on the back of Ronan’s jersey and a number 7 on the big guy. Immediate recognition hit me. Number 7. Gerard “Gibsie” Gibson. Claire’s crush. The cat walker. The strange one. Thank god!
