Can Waterford or Tipperary win the All-Ireland? Jamsie finds it difficult to understand why nobody is talking about Waterford? Jamsie O'Connor who played football for Clare- before hurling? Mad the things you find out. Due to the tragic death of Brendan Stone, Wicklow U20 footballer and brother of senior full-back Malachy, Oisin didn't join us today. He'll be back on Wednesday. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Brendan, a brilliant young, talented and from one of the most decent loving families, you could ever wish to meet. A beautiful young man, taken from us all too soon.

We all knew it was coming, but since Conor McManus retired the question has bubbled- who is the greatest Monaghan footballer? "Well I'd say Conor is greatest Monaghan finisher" it sets the tone of this brilliant insight into the great Nudie Hughes. He's a mural on the gable of the house he was reared, one of 14. All of them still living. Ulster championships, All-stars (in defence and attack) and an icon in Monaghan. In 2018 he was diagnosed with cancer- this week he begins a new treatment after a setback. There's no negativity here though, none. The positive mindset is authentic and real. Moving forward and living his best life. This is the life and times of the great Nudie Hughes (perhaps one of the two greatest footballers to play in Blue and white)
