Mick Galwey
Former Irish Rugby Captain and Kerry Footballer
Mick Galwey, the now legendary Irish rugby captain comes from Currow Co. Kerry. His displays with Ireland and the lions of Munster are now part of Irish foclore. He also won an all Ireland senior football medal with Kerry. This special Terrace Talk program was recorded on August 8th 2000 Captivating listening as Mick discuses his life with Weeshie.

 

 

The village of Currow lies close to the town of Castleisland, Co. Kerry and amazingly, out of this small village came three of Ireland's best rugby players - Moss Keane, Mick Doyle, and Mick Galway. And all three became British & Irish Lions.

Mick Doyle went on to coach Ireland to Triple Crown success, and his brother Tom was also an international. So the background for the great Mick Galway was well and truly laid, an amazing feat to see such world-renowned sportsmen coming from this small and tightly-knit community.

Mick Galwey talks candidly in this hour-long Terrace Talk Special about how he won an All-Ireland Senior football medal with Kerry, the tradition that helped him become such a world-renowned player, the captain of Ireland and Munster, his family and his dreams for the future.
