Contains language which some may find offensive.

Available for over a year

Late last year Michael Murphy shocked the GAA world by announcing his retirement. Rumours circulated. In this episode of the GAA Social, the former Donegal captain sets the record straight. He's one of the most well-known, gifted footballers of a generation- but someone we know very little about. Michael joins Thomas Niblock & Oisin McConville to talk about drive, joining the BBC team as an analyst, Donegal underachievement and becoming Donegal manager some day? We're not so sure. Benny Coulter, Tyrone, that game against Dublin that shocked the sport, wedding days and remarkably Oisin is more tight lipped when it comes to talking about Wicklow. Entertaining and insightful- a unique insight into one of the sports greats. The GAA social is back! Oh, and both men pick their winners for the provincial and All-Ireland championships! Blood is thicker than water!!
