Paddy Joe Burke's Speech With The Nestor Cup Is The Internet's Greatest Minute

Paddy Joe Burke's Speech With The Nestor Cup Is The Internet's Greatest Minute

Here at Balls, we love it when teams have a diehard fan that'll follow them everywhere, and just purely loves their county. We've already paid tribute to Offaly's #1 Mick McDonagh, and soon enough we may have to do so for Paddy Joe Burke.

What do you mean you don't know who Paddy Joe Burke is?

He's Roscommon's biggest fan, and absolutely loves his county! Cut him open and he'll bleed primrose and blue! And probably a bit of red:

He was at the Connacht final on Sunday, when Roscommon stunned Galway to reach the All-Ireland quarter-finals. His maniacal screams at the full-time whistle could be heard from Boyle to Clonown. So it was only right that he would get his hands on the Nestor Cup at some stage.

Brilliantly, someone managed to catch the moment on video - and it's led to what we are already crowning the greatest GAA speech of the 21st century, or indeed history.

The Rossies! The Rossies! The Rossies!

We're sure you have quite a few questions. Mainly, why is there a Triton shower on the wall behind Paddy? Well, he's a hairdresser by trade!

You can't fault Paddy Joe's enthusiasm. After all, everyone had written off Roscommon when they were relegated from Division One after a shocking campaign.

Kevin McStay's side bamboozled the Tribesmen though and now await a heavy hitter in the quarter-final, regardless of who makes it through the qualifier.

We're sure Paddy Joe will have his tickets - and who knows, we might even get another speech if the Rossies can make it to the August weekend.
