Promo for Jeff Stelling and Chris Kamara’s Journey to Croker looks unreal

They'll never be able to do it... surely!

Conan Doherty

Two great guys, one almighty challenge.

Jeff Stelling and Chris Kamara are on the road that every Gael sets out on at some stage in their lives – the road to Croker.

Yes, they’re one of us now.

As part of a mini-series set to be released on AIB’s social channels, the popular soccer pundits travelled the length and breadth of Ireland in a bid to understand how grassroots GAA clubs fuel the county championships. And their challenge is to be ready in time to commentate on the All-Ireland football final.

It’s a bad start though when Kammy doesn’t even know the three initials that make up GAA…

Fortunately, the legendary Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh has been drafted in and the Kerry man challenged the pair to try out their skills on an under-15 game in Dingle.

‘Jeff and Kammy’s Road to Croker’ will air each Monday at 5pm on www.youtube.com/aib and AIB’s other social channels beginning with Episode 1 on the 31st of July.

It looks like it’s going to be class.

The eight-part series will document Jeff and Kammy’s exploration of the sport as they discover the communities, the rivalries, the passion, and most importantly the people that make GAA so unique.

Along the way they’ll meet heroes of the game including Dick Clerkin, Peter Canavan and Jonny Cooper who will share their stories of club and county as Jeff and Kammy prepare for their mammoth task on the 17th of September.
