Oral History

Jody Sheridan

Jody Sheridan talks about his involvement with the GAA in Longford. His local club was Granard and he recalls playing for them down through the years with his friends. He reflects on the rivalries they had with neighbouring clubs, which resulted in some epic battles. Jody was also on the Longford team that won the National League in 1996, a great occasion. They were well respected as a team and were often invited to tournaments around the country. He also worked in club administration at Granard, filling whatever position was necessary. He and his lifelong friends loved to play football and go to All-Ireland finals in Dublin. The GAA is different today to what it was back then, and Jody gives his opinions on pressing issues within the Association. A club man through and through, he is immensely proud of his community's achievements.
