If anyone knows a thing or two about All-Ireland final day, it is Pat Spillane.
The Kerry icon won eight All-Ireland titles and was a nine-time All-Star to boot, starring in the great Kingdom side of the 70s and 80s.
On the other end of the scale is his fellow outspoken pundit, Joe Brolly.

He said: "I did a preview during the week, and again the question was about All-Ireland experiences, and Joe Brolly was with me.
"So I said 'Joe, you won't be long answering this question, you only appeared in one final."
