Jackie Tyrell- The real Brian Cody & the Shefflin handshake, crippled with doubt, obsessed, texts, punditry, mindset

This Podcast isn’t quite what you’d expect? Jackie Tyrell has won nine All-Ireland titles with Kilkenny & everything with his club. He’s one of Gaelic Games highest rated and respected TV analysts. He’s a model, assured and confident- it appears. Behind it all, was a hurler crippled with doubt. This Podcast explores the journey Jackie Tyrell has travelled. A bumpy one. The James Stephen’s club man also lifts the lid on Brian Cody, what he was like, what made him different. Jackie also explains his thoughts around Henry Shefflin, his decision to take Galway and the famous handshake/ non-handshake between the star manager and perhaps his greatest player? No regrets. Jackie also explains his obsessive nature. Press-ups/ sit-ups before bed, every single night, is just one tiny piece. There’s a brilliant insight into Tommy Walsh, the All-stars dinner when Tipperary cleaned up, Vodka & Redbull and the four digits that followed in a text message. There’s punditry, Donal Og "Going off one"- what was that like? And, there’s Cork. Ben O’Connor too. There’s also Lar Corbett. Fabulous stuff.
