Breaking Ball, the GAA's finest ever weekly magazine programme, did a lovely little segment the weekend before the last ever FA Cup Final at the old Wembley back in 2000.

Tony Grealish, born to Irish parents in Paddington in London, played Gaelic football for a team called St. Agnes and subsequently played for London in Wembley in the early 1970s.

Wembley hosted an annual exhibition of Gaelic football and hurling between 1958 and 1975, with as many as 40,000 spectators showing up.

Grealish went on to play 45 times for Ireland in the 1970s and 80s, scoring eight goals. Tragically, he died in 2013 at the age of 56 after battling cancer for a number of years.
