Jimmy Smyth joins the GAA Social this week

On this week's GAA Social podcast, Thomas and Oisin sit down with legendary Armagh footballer and former commentator Jimmy Smyth.

As captain in 1977, Smyth led the Orchard County to success in the Ulster Championship before they were beaten by Dublin in the All-Ireland final.

Named an All-Star that year, the Clan na Gael clubman would win one more Ulster title (in 1980) before managing his club to two Armagh titles.

He moved from the pitch and sidelines to the commentary box, spending two decades working for the BBC calling the action on his beloved sport.

In this wide-ranging interview, which you can download now from BBC Sounds, the 76-year-old talks about having survived two heart attacks and how he is still involved in the game as chair of the Ulster Schools.
