    Is that the bottom of a barrel I hear being scraped?

    All the droolers on Social Media hyping the series up. I swear they are all asked to promote it.

    Looks like a decent list to me - Lindsay Peat will be very interesting, and Kevin Hughes.

    I'd love to see them cover Handball with it at some point.

    Ciara Gaynor qualified for the ironman world triathlon championships recently.  3.8k for the swim, 180kms on the bike, and 42kms of a run. Absolute beast.

    What's wrong with hearing or seeing the stories of some new people?

    It isn't TMZ after all, trying to get the biggest celebrities, I thought it was supposed to be stories from real people in the game? We already know enough about the likes of Cooper or Micheal Murphy, so I'm quite interested to hear about Kerins and Hughes instead. There could be some very interesting things that happened there that we never hear about because they don't have the profile of the so called superstars.

    There's only one name on that list I wouldn't be familiar with. Huge names in the GAA. And a lot for more than the right reasons.

    Im enjoying this series so far. I like the surprise of different elements of a persons life that I didnt know beforehand. I knew very little about Tony Scullion and I had heard about Alan Kerins work in SA, but didnt realise it was to the extent that it is, and also the emotional rollercoaster with their little child.

    Last nights episode was very emotional. I know Pat, he is a great man and only shows encouragement and positivity in his coaching.

    He was my PE teacher in school and coach in football, hurling and basketball. He brought the school from having zero physical activity to winning trophys. (I wasnt on any of those teams 😟) I dont think there is a person that would say anything negitive about him. The hurling accident very much effected him, and probably with very little supports at the time. A very humble man that wants to help others more so than himself. Very much a team player.

    Also, no footage could be found of 1985? Leinster Final!

    I dont really know the people in the next two shows, so looking forward to them.
