What has been your favorite moment or a memory you have had with a player ? I'll start it off, one of mine is when I was young going to a Monaghan game , I sat down so and a few minutes later I realized that I had just sat myself down into the subs bench,I was let sit there beside two players for the whole game.

Incase anyone asks the seats in the stand behind the subs bench were used.

A few years ago myself and my son came across Bernard Brogan doing some free taking practice on his own at the Dubs training facility.
My son ran behind the goal and kicked back the balls which he seemed happy to play along with and when he was finished he showed us around the training facilities and gave my son a signed ball.
Class player and really sound bloke.

Met both Dermot Early (Snr) and John Maughan at a function a few years ago, two gents and had a laugh about the Meath/Mayo rivalry. John Maughan was still having nightmares ten years on

Playing Portumna a few years back. Was out wing back and Joe Canning came out for a ball. I decided to pull like a wild man for the occasion that was in it. Hit em a dirty slap, picked up the yellow and the great man himself addressed me by "ya dirty effin b*****x".He subsequently nailed the free from 80 yards. My only ever interaction with man.

Suppose being at the post-match All Ireland final meal and subsequent celebrations at the Gibson hotel last September would be mine.
