Our latest guest is Denis Walsh of the Irish Times. Denis wrote one of the great GAA books, Hurling: The Revolution Years, on the sudden outbreak of democracy in hurling in the 1990s. He looks back on some of his favourite stories and characters of that time, and we discuss whether the sport truly made the most of a thrilling era.
We also discuss the present Limerick team: what makes them so special? And where do they rank among the all-time greats?
We also discuss the modern game, and whether hurling really was better in the Good Old Days. We also discuss Denis’ time among the galacticos at the Sunday Tribune, and days covering Munster rugby and the Irish soccer team.
