Somewhere in the Cusack stand, with every nerve ending tingling, every sense overloaded with the sound, the smoke and the beat of the pre-match parade." @amflynn.bsky.social on the All-Ireland final build-up

Very sorry to hear this. When I was aged 12, I did a school project on Sports Reporters and Commentators. I sent questionnaires to a bunch of print journalists and broadcasters. Michael was one of those who wrote back, and his answers included some characteristically funny stories. RIP
