Personal Life
Gogan met his wife Florrie when she was 15. Both their fathers ran newspaper shops in Dublin. They were engaged two years later and married when she was 21. They had five children. Florrie developed breast cancer and died in January 2002 while Gogan was recovering from heart surgery. He says, "When something happens at work I say to myself 'I must tell Florrie that' and then I remember, she's not there any more"...
On his official website, Gogan lists Katy Lied by Steely Dan as his favourite album of all time, whilst the song that drives him mad is "Save Your Love" by Renée and Renato. His favourite film is Casablanca.
He knew Jimmy Savile.
