In one of the most enjoyable podcasts since the GAA Social started it's meandering journey- Diarmuid O'Sullivan stands out. Nothing is off limits. Passed over as Cork manager- why? Rows with Kilkenny and Limerick and embracing his iconic status.

Then, there's the strikes. In the noughties Cork called a strike three times. It was hugely controversial and still causes debate. The fall-outs continue and there's a feeling more than 20 years on, Cork were not supported as they should. Diarmuid’s father Jerry was on the Cork County Board at the time, a former Chairman- but his son was on the opposing side. Diarmuid was still living at home at the time. Conversation over the dinner table. Tricky!

Diarmuid explains his first time crossing the border, the experience remains vivid in his mind. Should Casement stadium be built? Cork have their own issues around 'Oisin McConville Supervalue Park' as it's now known.

O'Sullivan is helping Ronan Sheehan as part of the Down hurling management. It's a role he enjoys. Could he manage one of the top Munster teams? Could he manage Cork some day?

It's the life and times of one of Hurling’s greatest icons- Diarmuid O'Sullivan on the GAA Social Podcast
