We're putting one of the great Galway dual GAA careers in the spotlight this week as Alan Kerins is our guest on Warriors, the GAA podcast for you The42 members.
Alan's playing days were certainly interesting. He had a long spell in Galway hurling colours as they chased the Liam MacCarthy breakthrough, enjoyed a memorable experience as Galway lifted Sam Maguire in 2001 while he has the unique feat of All-Ireland club wins in different codes with Clarinbridge and Salthill-Knocknacarra.
So we asked him to pick out his three favourite GAA matches and he talked through his selections with Fintan O'Toole.
It's a brilliant chat as he recounts his remarkable and unlikely rise to the Galway football side. In 2001 he was parachuted into the starting team for a Connacht match against Leitrim before having ever played a senior club championship game and that sparked a controversy that saw Michael Donnellan and his brother John quit the squad temporarily.
"I was catapulted in out of the blue, a hurler from nowhere. There was a big furore about the Leitrim game.
"I kind of felt guilty coming in because Michael and John were two brilliant players. John O'Mahony showed some courage and some faith, it was a brave decision.
"Michael was one of the greatest footballers of all time, from '98 he was a superstar and he wasn't involved. I'll never forget going into Tuam that day and you nearly were thinking people were coming to see you fail or coming just to see were you any good. I hadn't experienced that kind of external focus on me.
"I just remember it was a really strange and chaotic few weeks."
There's plenty hurling chat as well. Alan talks about why he felt his Clarinbridge club-mate Micheal Donoghue would achieve managerial greatness, breaking John Mullane's heart in one of the greatest club matches of all time in 2011 and the feeling of being 'at peace' in Croke Park at age of 34 knowing he was about to win an All-Ireland.
