Just heard the legend on Five Live. Must be near 100 years of age now. But I was wondering how he can be called 'Sir' if he was born outside the UK?

County Kerry was part of the UK until the Irish Free State was founded.
There was even a GWR County Class locomotive called County Kerry in those days.
