THEJOURNAL.IE WOULD like to put it on the record that it apologises profusely to one Vincent Browne of TV3 Studios, Ballymount, Dublin.
We dropped the ball. We are sorry.
Yesterday marked the 68th birthday of the acerbic host (those are the descriptive words used by The Guardian, according to Wikipedia) and we did not mark the occasion.
But like a grovelling boyfriend with a bouquet of petrol station carnations and a box of (hopefully in-date) After Eights, we’re here today to make up for it.
Belated birthday bumps to you, Sir! Please, forgive us. This is your life (or your best telly bits and a funny slideshow):
A spare five minutes (ok, twenty minutes) can be gloriously wasted by putting ‘Vincent Browne’ into the YouTube search engine. The resulting list shows the 68-year-old “destroying” numerous people. Despite at least an hour’s research, we could not find any physical destruction being imposed, Dark Knight style, by the broadcaster but we did uncover these gems from the TV3 archives.
First up, Vin B takes on the ECB, schooling it on the traditions of Irish journalism and taxi men.

But sometimes, even Browne has to admit defeat:
Browne has also provided the Aprés Match lads with plenty of material. This one is a particular favourite with our friends at TheScore.ie:
