Answer 1

Where is Ken´s scar coming from?

This story is probably best told by Ken himself. (Irish Times, May 6, 1997)

"It was the result of an accident I had on my seventh birthday, when I fell off a shed roof on to a metal dustbin. I was first brought to Baggot Street Hospital but they decided that I should be treated in the Children's Hospital in Harcourt Street. Apparently, it was the delay in getting me from one hospital to the other that caused the scar to be as noticeable as it is. But it doesn't bother me. I don't suffer from any hang-ups about the way I look. In fact I think it is quite distinctive. It provides another reason why people should remember me."

"The upshot was that Ian (Ian Doyle, Ken´s manager) asked me if I would be interested in having the scar on my right cheek removed. It wasn't the first time the scar was mentioned to me, but I assured him that I didn't want to change any part of me. Some guys seem to think that it makes me out to be a hard man, like as if it was a relic of some gang fight or whatever. But it's not like that."
