20 years ago, Mayo turned left after running out onto the Croke Park pitch and the Mill at the Hill was born. Joe is joined in studio by David Brady, the potential architect of the audacious gambit, and Senan Connell, who was playing his last ever game for Dublin.
Before the lads discuss the colourful events of 2006, David explains the emotions he felt watching Mayo finally end their last wait for Sam Maguire last month.
