Johnny Galligan

John Galligan talks about how he founded his local club, Mullineachta, in Longford in the late 1950s with a friend of his. They had little or no facilities but they did establish a team and it quickly enjoyed success. As John was involved in the running of the club as well as playing, he was kept very busy all the time. Sometimes there were disagreements with GAA officials on organisational matters, and this eventually led to John cutting his ties with the club. He also discusses his time spent in England, and his trips to see All-Ireland finals in Croke Park through the years.
