Shane Walsh is one of GAA’s biggest stars. The All-Ireland final shootout between him and David Clifford will go down as one of the greatest battles of all-time. The Galway star sits down with Thomas Niblock & Oisin McConville in a reveal all podcast, providing a rare insight into one Gaelic Games most influential sportsmen.

There’s much to discuss. Shane transferred from his club Kilkerrin/Clonberne to Kilmacud Crokes after Galway's All-Ireland defeat to Kerry (although his mind was made up before the Armagh game) the transfer shocked the sport. Why?

How did he feel about the abuse aimed towards him, his new club- and will he go back home in the future, if roads lead back West?

There’s the All-Ireland club final with Glen. 17 players. Was it cheating? Would the Leinster champions fulfil a replay- if that was the Call? With nothing off-limits Shane opens up to the GAA Social about hopes for Galway in 2023, that battle with David Clifford and the influence Ronan O’Gara had on him the night before the All-Ireland final with Kerry. Oisin loves O'Gara and reveals his own admiration for the former Ireland number 10.

The importance of imagination, a lesson he learned as a six-year-old and the influence of Padraic Joyce is all packed into this podcast. Also, how did Walsh manage a substantial break during the inter-county season and could we seriously have lost him to another sport?

A mature, confident but humble young man- Shane Walsh comes across brilliantly in another exceptional episode of the GAA Social
