This week on The Week That Was, we head back through the GAA history books to revisit three memorable moments from the opening days of September. We look at the first All-Ireland final ever played on the first Sunday of September – a date that would eventually become synonymous with the biggest day in the Hurling calendar.We also revisit the unusual year when the footballers took over that slot. And we tell the story of the afternoon when one of Tipperary’s greatest characters lit up Croke Park. With his boots discarded and Croke Park at his feet, Babs Keating became the Barefoot Wonder.For those who want more Gaelic Games History, you can join our Cairde Club for less than the price of a match programme for month - where you'll get exclusive episodes, bonus content, ad free and early release versions of the main podcast.
