That anyone of us can play, manage, coach or support their own team on club final days (or nights) at Croke Park.

The sense of community and belonging. You can go to anywhere in the world and if you see someone with a GAA top, it's like meeting someone you know.

Sitting at a match with complete strangers and having the craic, then when its over never seeing them again.

On big match day when you come across your first opposition fan and you let slip your first "C'mon Tyrone"  and the ensuing banter.

Waking up monday afternoon after the big game (heavy night of drinking) & wondering where/why you got the opposition headband.

The sense of community and belonging. You can go to anywhere in the world and if you see someone with a GAA top, it's like meeting someone you know.

Even if they're wearing a Tyrone top and you don't want to know them!!!!

Wearing GAA attire abroad is an open invitation to meet new people who wouldn't look at you twice only for you wearing your colours. Always a welcome occurrence.

100s of kids at an under 10 blitz with their County and club heros organising the mayhem as best they can.



Sorry Hardy. No surrender.

Looking at a book of maps of Irish history and in one from the 13th century seeing the names of tribes that you recognise in players from the county teams of the 21st century. 

Talking to the auld fella about match we went to 25 years ago.

2008 watching the France Ireland rugby match with the father in law who is from France and fielding all his questions about the stade magnifique.
