Pat Spillane at 70 | ‘I remember the phone call where you dropped me’ | The TV me and the real me
Mickey Ned O’Sulluvan joins Michael Verney for a special tribute episode for Pat Spillane, who this week turned the big 7-0. Spillane recalls memories of his start in Kerry, the hit that made him the man who picked up Sam Maguire in place of Mickey Ned, and the phone call O’Sullivan made to drop Spillane from the Kerry squad - and the fire that ignited inside him. There are also memories of recovering from a cruciate injury in the 1980s, the transition to television and the difference between what you see on screen and the real Pat Spillane.
