Kevin Mussen. The first man to bring Sam across the border. A brilliant podcast

from The GAA Social · host BBC Radio Ulster

Kevin Mussen was the first man to bring Sam Maguire across the border. He still remembers the night and the customs posts. Different days. He and his Down team lit up the 60’s and Kevin remembers it all. Eamon de Valera, climbing the steps, bringing Sam to school and looking back on a truly historic moment for the GAA. Kevin is the oldest person we’ve ever had on the podcast- and full of craic. There's a devilment to this witty, kind man. Older people tend to say it how it is. There’s plenty of that. Living with cancer, surviving falls and despite coming 92- he’s determined to live. Live better! H names the two best players he's seen. One is from Kerry, the other from Derry. Kevin Mussen, an outstanding listen with one of the great people of our times
