Episode 1257: Jonny Cooper On All-Irelands, Trash Talk And Dissenting Voices, US Murph On NFL, Fed Crashes Out, Futsal Danes, Nike And Kaepernick
Jonny Cooper was Jim Gavin’s captain at u-21 level in 2010, had to bide his time before making the step-up to senior, but since making his debut in 2013, he’s only lost ONE championship game. He joins us today to talk about his younger team-mates, communication on the field, trash talk, cherishing these wins, and the dissenting voices on Dublin’s dominance.
