Jamsie O'Connor. Hurling, punditry, Maurice Fitzgerald
from The GAA Social · host BBC Radio Ulster
This felt like the quickest ever hour. The great Jamsie O’Connor. Player of the Year, four Allstar's, double All-Ireland winner and a teacher. Clare to the bone.We talk phone calls to Kerry great Maurice Fitzgerald, The influence of Ger Loughnane and a surprising one from Tipperary. We talk Cork, are they just not liked? And his run-in with Ronan Curran, now with Ben O’Connor in charge. Teaching Tony Kelly and now working alongside him. Clare “won’t be far away” this year and we also talk punditry, really interesting. The Sky Sports years, how RTE has changed and now enjoying life with the BBC (we think)Colum Flynn passed away two weeks ago, a physio but so much more. Lovely tribute to a great man.Speaking of great men, Hurling, life, Jamsie.
