Description

Leslie Dawes talks to GAA legend Séan O’Neill about the length of the football season. Is it too long? O’Neill believes it is very long – he has been playing from February up until December. The length of the season depends on the success of the team but too early and too late in the year makes for bad conditions.

Notes

Séan O’Neill is regarded as one of the greatest Gaelic Footballers.  He won two Sigerson Cup medals in 1958 and 1964 and was manager of the successful side of 1982.  He also won three All-Ireland titles and 8 Ulster medals with Down, a record 8 Railway Cups with Ulster and was named on the GAA Team of the Millennium.  He was Footballer of the Year in 1968 and was also named as the Ulster Footballer of the Millennium in 2000.
