Tommy Corr - boxing history maker and football star.

Tommy Corr from Clonoe excelled in the boxing ring, in 1982 becoming the first fighter to win a medal for Ireland at the World Amateur Championships. In a stellar football career, he played in a raft of county finals with his beloved O'Rahilly club.
The former Olympian, who was a household name in Ireland, shares memories of his introduction to boxing under the tutelage of Frank Gervin, the fabulous young local boxers, through to competing at the highest level and meeting icons of world sport.
While training at elite international level, he continued to play Gaelic football forging his way onto the Tyrone minor team and for many years with the club seniors.
TwoMacs producer brother Oliver Corr joins in the banter as they recall the historic day 'the 'Rahillys' beat their great rivals the Fianna in the 1991 county final. Outnumbered, there's no begrudgery from Ronan Mac!
Tommy has great pride in his son Caolan and daughter Aísling who played in All Ireland club finals and recalls a schemozzle when he lined out alongside his other son Tomás. His wife Margaret was also a formidable camogie player.
A wonderful podcast, Tommy Corr fierce in battle and an absolute gentleman out of the ring, talks of his love of singing and the joy of being involved in not one, but two choirs.
The years pass and the memories are forever. These days he's enjoying family life and his beloved grandchildren while keeping healthy with the Park Runs and Walks.
