AD FEATURE: Glory Days: Tommy Dowd and Keith Barr relive some of their greatest GAA moments
In association with UPMC Orthopaedic Care
While modern GAA brings us classic moments on a yearly basis, the 1980s and 90s hold a special place in many fans' hearts as a time when epic inter-county rivalries made it one of the most competitive periods in the sport's history.
We've teamed up with UPMC Orthopaedic Care to bring some of the era's legendary players back to Croke Park to relive some of their most memorable moments on and off the pitch.
In this video, Tommy Dowd, 4-time GAA All-Star who captained Meath to All-Ireland victory over Mayo in 1996, is joined by Keith Barr, 2-time All-Star and a key member of 1995's All-Ireland winning Dublin team.
These two went head to head in 1991’s infamous 4-game Leinster final saga, so there's plenty of history between them!
As well as the thrill of All-Ireland glory, both players were on the receiving end of some nasty knocks, some of which still affect them to this day.
It's not only elite athletes who find themselves on the wrong end of an injury, or requiring joint replacement surgery. If you find that things don't move, rotate or bend like they used to, then UPMC's world-class orthopaedic services for knee and hip replacement - as well as shoulder, elbow and foot and ankle injuries - should be your next port of call.
