The Men Who Played Wembley: A Cavan Sporting Legacy

A very special sporting heritage episode capturing the memories of Cavan GAA football players Ray Carolan, Gabriel Kelly, Cormac Cahill, Phil ‘Lightening’ Murray and the sadly recently deceased Tom Lynch, who competed in matches at London’s Wembley Stadium between 1958 and the early 1970s.

Filled with camaraderie, laughter, and vivid recollections, the conversation preserves an extraordinary chapter in Cavan sporting history.

Since the recording of this episode, Tom Lynch has passed away, making his contribution all the more poignant and underscoring the importance and urgency of recording living heritage while these voices and memories can still be shared. The episode stands as a lasting tribute, and it is especially meaningful that his first-hand recollections of those remarkable days were captured and preserved.
