News: Seó Spórt Special Guests
Date: 22nd February 2007

Friday 23 February on TG4 @ 8:00pm

An 'Seó Spórt', live from TG4 headquarters @ 8pm on Fridays, is bringing two
of Irelands sporting legends to your screens. This weekly lively show will
have former football All-Ireland winner as a player and manager Paidí Ó Sé
in studio this coming Friday and twice former Rugby Triple Crown winners
captain and former Lions team captain, Ciarán Fitzgerald is interviewed
ahead of the English match in Croke Park.  Eoin Ó Neachtain, rugby analyst
with RTE Raidió na Gaeltachta and former Seó Spórt analyst will be in-house
reviewing this weekends other games.

Páidí Ó Sé is as successful a GAA star as they come. He won eight
All-Ireland medals of the ten finals he played and only once in those ten
games did his opponent managed to score a point. Kerry had not won an
All-Ireland since Ó Sé's playing days themselves in 1986, but within two
years of management Páidí brought the Kingdom their first crown in eleven
years in 1997. As all knows well by now he has taken charge of the Clare
footballers and it will be interesting to see what future Páidí thinks his
new team holds for this season. Along with SBB he will revew this weekends
league games and cast his opinion on the extention of foreign games in Croke
Park next year.

Focusing on the big rugby events of this weekend will be Eoin Ó Neachtain
and SBB, but an Seó Spórt have an exclusive interview with one of Irish
rugbys greatest players, Ciarán Fitzgerald. An inspirational leader, he was
seen on television exhorting his exhausted teammates in the dying minutes of
the 1985 match against England with the immortal words "Come on lads,
where's your f***ing pride!" Ciarán's knowledge of the big game will throw
more light on what both teams might expect this Saturday.

'Seó Spórt' is a live weekly magazine programme that's a must for sports
fans as they prepare for the weekend's action. It is your one-stop shop for
what's happening in the sporting world. Co-presented by Micheál Ó Domhnaill,
(already well known as the regular presenter of GAA Beo on TG4 for the past
7 years) and Gemma Ní Chionnaith a presenter with RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta.
They will be joined in studio by resident sports pundit Seán Bán Breathnach
(SBB) who will be unveiling his views on upcoming sports events alongside a
guest analyst each week.
