ExcessiveBanter - Don Mullan - Bloody Sunday, Mr. Banks & Derry

This episode of ExcessiveBanter is a heartfelt, long overdue conversation with a true Irish Gentleman, Author, Don Mullan.   On this the 50th Anniversary, Do was an eye witness to the January 30th, 1972 British massacre in the town of Derry (Northern Ireland).  Over the many years following a poorly executed inquiry, no accountability or recognition of guilt was given or acknowledged by the British Government.
Not until January 1997 when Don Mullan's book, Eyewitness Bloody Sunday was published to controversy and in the ensuing months became the catalyst in the campaign for justice for the families of the 14 victims of the Bloody Sunday massacre.  Listen to Don's first hand perspective of the actions, avoidance and eventual redemption for his friend, Michael Kelly and the other 13 families.
Don will also enlighten us with the timeline and stories leading up to a beautiful friendship with one of England's legendary Football Keeper and this podcaster's own idol, the great Gordon Banks.
