In one of the most powerful GAA Social podcasts to date, former Armagh manager Brian Canavan joins Thomas and Oisin. He talks football, one of the most high profile shootings in his bar during the Troubles- weeks before the signing of the Good Friday Agreement. Brian also talks living with Cancer, refereeing and perhaps unusually, there's plenty of laughs too.

In 1998, best friends Damien Trainor and Phillip Allen were killed in a shooting in Poyntzpass. The LVF burst into the Railway Bar and shot dead the life-long friends. Brian Canavan owns the Railway Bar. Both Damien and Phillip were innocent locals, discussing the upcoming wedding of Phillip. Damien was due to be best man.

It's one of the most high profile shootings during the troubles. It occurred weeks before the Good Friday Agreement was signed and notable because of David Trimble and Seamus Mallon, together visiting the homes of both victims. Canavan brings us back to that day. It's a remarkable moment in time.

Canavan along with Brian McAlinden managed Armagh to back-to-back Ulster championships in 1999 & 2000. It's 23 years since Armagh beat Derry on that famous day at Clones. Oisin McConville scored the winning point after a dubious free was awarded.

This week marks a special occasion for Brian. For the first time, he discusses his cancer treatment and on Wednesday May 4th will receive his final radiotherapy treatment. That's the plan!

Brian was BBC co-commentator for almost 30 years, we reflect on those days, the battles when in charge of Armagh and a refreshing outlook on life. Brian and his wife Geraldine go away for a night once a week, date night and still the best of friends. Life lessons.

It's an absorbing story of love, loss, football and life. It's the brilliant Brian Canavan on the GAA Social
