Barry McGuigan the boxer was one champion in that year.

[Leo-Bloom]

Dennis Taylor was world snooker champ that year.

I thought Barry McGuigan was from the Republic (Clones) - Hence his nickname "The Clones Cyclone"?

Could one be the boxer Wayne McCulloch?

i'd say if your lookin the rest of them that were world champions you'd prob find its in equestrian or some sort of horse discipline, or clay pigeon shooting.

Paddy O'Murphy - Leprechaun tossing
