Luke Tiernan grew up as a fan of the San Francisco 49ers, so no real surprise that the Irishman looked up to "the inconvenient truth" frank Gore as his idol.
Indeed he has credited the superstar Running Back as part of the reason why he started off his life as a running back with Notre Dame, he wanted to emulate the man that wowed him as a child.
During his ten seasons with the Red and Gold of the 49ers, Frank Gore only failed to pass 1000 yards rushing on two occasions, famed for his work ethic and his tenacious style of running, Gore is destined for the Hall of Fame when he eventually hangs up his cleats.
Tiernan has never got to meet his hero, however they do frequently trade messages on Twitter, however this has dropped off slightly since the Irishman moved position from Running Back to Linebacker.
Rumour has it that Gore put Tiernan in contact with his former teammate Patrick Willis as soon as news came out that Tiernan was looking to switch positions to Linebacker, with the now retired Willis flying into Colorado to have a meal with Tiernan. Nice guy that Frank Gore.
