It's the first Dublin football figure of the series as our guest this week on the Warriors GAA podcast for The42 members.
Johnny Magee soldiered in the Dublin defence for a decade, starting out in the 90s and playing into the 2000s. He picked up a couple of Leinster senior medals and was central to a different time of football in the province.
He talks about what it was like then in an ultra-competitive Leinster championship, how it saddens him what's become of the province and the day in 2002 when he tore his cruciate but played on marking Meath's Trevor Giles.
There's also plenty about his club days with Kilmacud Crokes, winning as a player and manager. He talks about how he was inspired as a teenager by the All-Ireland club title win of 1995, the day Jason Sherlock played a Dublin final and boarded a helicopter afterwards to play for Shamrock Rovers in Donegal, and the night Paul Mannion lit up Parnell Park.
