Documentary On One - Michael Gomez: The Irish Mexican
Michael Armstrong was born on the side of a road in Longford. His blind father, driving his mother to hospital, crashed and Michael was delivered there and then. Years later, a Sky Sports TV interviewer asked him; “You were born on the side of the road, brought up in care homes – it’s some story?” “That’s not a story”, Gomez replied, “That was real life.” Michael Gomez would fight 48 times making him a legendary figure in the Irish boxing world. Former world champion Bernard Dunne travels to Manchester to find out the true story of Michael Gomez.
