The New York crew shares a special moment with Irish Leprechaun legend Mike Brown

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Twenty-four years ago, a group of New York firefighters and police officers witnessed the game-winning kick that ended Drew Breese’s perfect season at the House that Rockne Built.

A firefighter named Jimmy Riches would lift Irish leprechaun Mike Brown and carry him onto the field to celebrate.

Less than a year later, Riches would die in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York on September 11.

Mike Brown remembers the moment and has since reconnected with one of those New Yorkers, Frank Kehoe.
