'The Sunday Game' Documentary Inspired A Great Twitter Reaction Last Night

In a world of social media, box sets and on demand TV there is only one protected programme that demands everyone's attention and, for me, that's The Sunday Game.

- Sean Cavanagh

On Wednesday night RTÉ celebrated 40 years of The Sunday Game  with a special documentary Sunday Best: 40 Years of The Sunday Game taking us behind the scenes as key figures reflected on an entity that is more institution than TV show.

Jim Carney, Michael Lyster, Joanne Cantwell, Brolly, Spillane ... the extensive list of contributors to the documentary served as an example of just how many people The Sunday Game has touched since it first aired in 1979 - and they're just the on-air talent.

In sitting rooms around the country, GAA fans were losing themselves down memory lane, engrossed in the nostalgia and falling in love with The Sunday Game all over again. It has entertained us, it has moved us, angered us and much more besides, but more than anything The Sunday Game has made us always feel part of something special.
