A GAA match is being shown on television, a ball is hit and sails over the crossbar, as it does, someone in the crowd lifts a large yellow banner with the legend John 3:7.
The man holding up that sign exhorting the nation to read that Gospel passage is Frank Hogan, now the subject of a TG4 documentary John 3:7, which will be shown this Sunday.
Frank has had a varied life – from the high of running a highly successful tailoring firm in Limerick serving the great and the good from the world of show business to devastation in his personal life.
He found God and set about bringing the message to others through his distinctive hoarding display at major GAA matches and other sporting and concert events. He is sometimes derided and mocked but he is also held in great affection by sports fans.
