Episode 1436: Glorious Grand National, Limerick’s Tom Morrissey On Their Dominant Spring, Skulls N Shakespeare, Giant Klopp, Letter From Buenos Aires

Fri 5th Apr 2019
Eoin, Ken, Murph, Tom Morrissey, Malachy Clerkin

The Grand National of our childhoods was a key moment in the sporting year. It was the one day every year when even non-horseracing fans paid strict attention. When did Cheltenham supersede it in the public consciousness, and why?

 

Malachy Clerkin joins us for a brilliant chat about betting companies, winning, the Celtic Tiger, and Tiger Roll.

 

We last spoke to Limerick’s Tom Morrissey at the Liberty Hall Theatre in December, as he was still basking in their first All-Ireland senior win in 45 years. The good times have kept on rolling for them, as they won their first league title in 22 years last Sunday. Just how much fun is it being a Limerick hurler right now?!

Plus there’s Robbie Keane’s Instagram, giant Klopp, sub 4 McDevitt, Red Rum, Murph’s shakey Shakespeare knowledge, why he hates both young happy people and punctual old people.
