Denis ‘Ogie’ Moran will feature on Laochra Gaol this Monday.
THE popular TG4 GAA documentary series, Loachra Gael, will feature one of Kerry’s most decorated footballers, Denis ‘Ogie’ Moran, on Tuesday.
Ogie holds a unique record in Gaelic Football. Alongside his former teammates, Paidí Ó Sé, Pat Spillane, Ger Power and Mikey Sheehy, he is the proud holder of eight All-Ireland medals but he stands apart in that he played every single minute of all eight finals, and in the same position – at centre half forward.

In the programme Ogie recalls 1975 when newly appointed county manager Mick O’Dwyer brought on several youngsters onto the county panel and how they went from match to match that same year all the way to the All-Ireland Final against reigning champions, and hot favourites, Dublin.
He also recalls the darker days of the defeats to the Dubs 1976 final and in the ’77 semi-final.
But the best was yet to come as he reflects on the Golden Years of 1978 to 1986 when Kerry won seven All-Irelands.
The other contributors on this programme are Sean Walsh, Tommy Drumm from Dublin, Offaly’s Sean Lowry, and Dara Ó Cinnéide.
The programme airs at 8pm on Tuesday and it will be repeated on Sunday, April 5 at 6pm.
It’s gonna be a good one.
