In this edition of Over The Bar, Michael Foley and Ciaran O’Hara explore one of the most pioneering figures in the history of Gaelic Games — the first player-manager to guide his team to All-Ireland success. How did he command a dressing room while still lining out beside the very men he was managing? What kind of tactical mind and character does it take to lead from both the sideline and the field? And why has his story been somewhat forgotten in the broader sweep of GAA history?With trademark storytelling, rich historical detail, and lively discussion, Michael and Ciaran bring listeners back to a defining moment when innovation, grit, and leadership reshaped what was possible in Gaelic Games.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.
