Conor Gormley- A Tyrone rivalry with Oisin & Armagh explained. A Brilliant listen


Listen Later

Two men who really didn't like each other sit down in a room. This is some podcast. Conor Gormley won three All-Ireland's with Tyrone and when the Armagh rivalry was at it's height- he was the enforcer. He marked the dangermen and said the 2005 All-Ireland semi-final was the most intense game of his life. Gormley, quiet by nature explains being overlooked by Mickey Harte as a minor, exploding onto the scene because he marked Peter Canavan at club level and feeling almost bitter about saying goodbye to Tyrone. He struggled to watch them for years. Oisin named Gormley, Ryan McMenamin and Brian Dooher in his autobiography for 'verbals' we explore that touchy subject. Conor also explains the moment when his father took a heart attack during a club game. Conor jumped the wire and attached the defib. We talk ‘that block’ against Steven McDonnell in 2003. It was the moment, which secured a first Sam Maguire for Tyrone. On the week Tyrone play Armagh in an Ulster semi-final, we look ahead to that game from an iconic footballer. One, until now, we knew very little about. 15,000 eggs a day, a hurler, refusing drink, and the question he asks his kids after every game. It's Conor Gormley like you've never heard him before
