Members of Glen Rovers GAA Club, Cork City

David O'Brien, Bernie Hackett and Noel Lynam recall the early days of the Glen Rovers club, which was formed in the 1920s after a merging of local clubs. They all played with the club at various levels, and Glen Rovers were instrumental in the development of minor football on a national level. A well-known and successful club, they boasted several inter-county players at one stage, with Noel going on to represent his county. They also had legendary figures like Christy Ring and Jack Lynch in their ranks, and all three share their recollections of these men. Noel later coached camogie teams and won various titles with them. The three men talk about how both the club and the GAA have changed over the years, touching on issues such as professionalism and the opening of Croke Park. Proud of the Glen Rovers club and its legacy, they believe that the past should always inform the present - something which, they feel, happens less and less as time goes by.
