Anthony Daly on life, winning, anxiety & reinventing himself. His love of Clare

About this episode

Anthony Daly discusses his life, experiences in sports, and personal challenges on The GAA Social.

This was a lovely hour with one of the most recognisable faces and voices in Irish sport. Anthony Daly is a former Clare captain, manager, leader of Dublin and has also managed in Limerick. He's a familiar face to us all as a pundit, columnist and now podcaster! He guides the ship and reinvented himself into something different. Behind the smiles and the craic is a touch of anxiety and how he's managing it. Regular health check-ups after losing his father (48) and brother (40) at a young age. Real life hits us all. But this podcast is just a brilliant hurling man- a footballer too believe it or not- enjoying life, hurling and proud of his place, county Clare. Plenty of laughs, 'the wand' and the race for Liam MacCarthy is a "Two horse race and i'm leaving out the All-Ireland champions." Early days. The great Anthony Daly on the GAA Social with Thomas & Oisin
