Ms Purshouse said she believed it was "easier to knock things down than preserve them" but there were many examples of interesting architecture still in Wolverhampton.

Peadar is a little more diplomatic – "not a great game" he recalled – but he has reason for diplomacy since, poor or not, Gaelic Games: Football gave him an idea: What more could a game like this do?"I took the game as impetus to go and do something about it because I'm doing computer science, loved games from no age - and maybe I could do something?"

Two decades, one career in financial software and a £30k Kickstarter later, Belfast studio Buck Eejit Games, formed four years ago by Peadar, is set to be the first to dive back into the Gaelic games market since that ill-fated series.Buck Eejit is one of about 40 firms active in, a scene non-existent when Peadar graduated from Queen's University.

And the dozen-strong team - a tiny group compared to the huge numbers working at behemoths like EA – are in crunch time to get Gaelic Football '25 finished for a summer release: 16-hour days every day and not much time for anything else, including three kids in Peadar's case."It's a lot to undertake, you're putting a lot aside to get the game – the dream, the passion project – over the line," he said.

The scale of the challenge is not lost on him.

While the likes of football, F1 or golf can tap into a huge video gaming fan base, Gaelic games are niche sports – huge in Ireland but with a relatively limited global market.Presenter Nicki Chapman has shared how she began her career as a promoter - propelling bands like the Spice Girls and Take That to global stardom.

Chapman launched her television career by appearing as a judge on Pop Idol alongside her then lesser known fellow judge Simon Cowell, who went on to create talent competition shows X Factor and Britain's Got Talent.Born in Herne Bay, she said she wanted to share her passion for working in the pop music industry in her new book, So Tell Me What You Want.

She told the BBC she "had never imagined a career in front of the cameras"."Without Pop Idol, I wouldn't be sitting here today. I love the music industry and I worked behind the scenes before Pop Idol and I was really comfortable with that," she added.
