VIDEO: Check out Ryan Tubridy as a 16-year-old reviewing U2 books on RTÉ

"A boy tries hard to be a man"

Paul Moore

“A boy tries hard to be a man”.

U2 are set to take Ireland by storm this week (feck off Barney) as Bono and the lads are set to rock Belfast and Dublin.

The Dubliners probably don’t need any extra publicity but if they want an honest and insightful review then they might turn to Ryan Tubridy for his opinion.

Long before ‘Tubridy Tonight’ or ‘The Late Late Show’, Ryan made an appearance on Scrap Saturday in 1989 at the age of 16, reviewing U2 books with Andy Ruane.

He must take immense pride (in the name of love) after seeing this nostalgic footage.
