Bob Sheridan children: Who are the sons of Colonel Bob Sheridan?
Sheridan was married to Anne Kelly from Carrick-on-Suir until her death. Sheridan was the father of a son called Simon Edwards, who was born in Newham, London, England in 1980 and put up for adoption through the Catholic Children’s Society.
Simon was the result of a fling between Bob and Irish hotel manager Rosemary Ruane, who died when her son was five. She never told Bob about the pregnancy and the sporting legend left Galway before ever meeting his only son.
The father of two – who now refers to himself as Colonel Jnr – told how he contacted Bob via an agency the day the childless widower laid his wife to rest.
