Dion Dublin and the GAA. Manchester United, the inner Roy Keane, the real Alex Ferguson and Who will win Sam Maguire

Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast:

Available for over a year

This week, it's very different. Dion Dublin visited Croke Park for the first time. The day before, Thomas brought the former England football international to Glen where he met a former All-Ireland winner, the current Derry captain and the community aspect of a sport that's different.

Roy Keane, Eric Cantona and the real Alex Ferguson are explored and Dion gives us his take on Gaelic games, the contradictions within the sport and what sets it apart. It’s a unique insight.

Filled with laughs and depth it's a very different podcast from 'Homes under the Hammer' Presenter

Dion Dublin signed for United, had a brilliant start to his career before breaking his leg. Manchester United signed Eric Cantona and Dublin left. It was a sliding doors moment.

From Glen club to a Pub in Magherafelt before making our way to Dublin for the All-Ireland football quarter-finals.
