Dublin’s most consistent player gets his life story told in this great championship ad

Will Slattery

This is what four straight Allstars gets you.

Paul Flynn has often been referred to as Dublin’s most important player since they made the All-Ireland breakthrough back in 2011 and now he has finally been featured in an ad that is equal to that title.

AIB did something similar with James O’Donoghue a few weeks back, and now it is Flynn’s turn to have his entire life flash before his eyes.

It is good to see Flynn get some recognition because although Bernard Brogan and Diarmuid Connolly get more headlines, Flynn has quietly developed into one of the game’s most influential forwards.

His run of four straight Allstars is also the third longest in Gaelic football history after Jack O’Shea and Pat Spillane (six in-a-row) and Paidi O’Se (five in-a-row), so he would be joining some legendary company if he can get another selection this year.
