Episode 3 - John McGrath

from Real Talks with Alan O'Mara Hosted by Alan O'Mara

Wicklow footballer John McGrath was diagnosed with leukaemia and entered four intense cycles of chemotherapy in 2011. Within 6 months he was back playing for his beloved club Baltinglass and a year later he was on the Croke Park turf winning a league title for his county. As we discussed the ups and downs of his recovery, it became abundantly clear that we were sitting in the room with one of the most resilient and inspiring men our national games have to offer as he prepares for his 11th season at inter-county level. John openly discusses his recovery, mindset through challenging times and how his love for football gave him a constant source of hope. In our first two episodes of the Real Talks Podcast, we checked in with members of the All-Ireland winning teams of 2016 in Brendan Maher of Tipperary and Dublin’s Kevin McManamon. Thanks to the 5,000 people who have so far tuned in to the show.
