GAA Football Gold: Highlights 1947-1959 DVD

'GAA Football Gold' consists of highlights of the All Ireland Senior and Minor finals from 1947 to 1959.

The DVD includes wins for Kerry, Meath, Dublin, Mayo and Galway as well as a golden era for Cavan football with three wins and a rare All-Ireland victory for Louth. The extraordinary atmosphere at Croke Park is well documented with capacity crowds being swelled by fence-jumpers, roof-walkers, canine pitch invaders, Bishops, Presidents and Taoisigh. Much of the commentary is provided by the legendary Michael OHehir whos infectious passion for the game and humourous style more than cover any hiccups in the emerging technology. The films have been painstakingly remastered and digitised by the staff of the IFI Irish Film Archive, who preserve the original film reels in their climate-controlled vaults.
