Oral History

George Hughes

George Hughes begins the interview by recounting his earliest memories of the GAA in Louth – following the North Louth Schools Leagues, transport to, and attendance at, local club games and the 1957 All-Ireland final. He recalls the landmark moments in the club and county’s sporting history, and the players he admires within and without of Louth. Local rivalries are discussed as are the sweeping changes that have taken place within the GAA over the course of his lifetime. Now living in Meath, some 40 miles away, Hughes discusses the enduring importance of the club to him and the sense of identity he still draws from it.
