1939 - it wasn't just the year that World War II started it was also the year that Kerry took on Galway at Yankee Stadium in the 'American Irish International Match'. Kerry were that year's All-Ireland champions beating Meath in the final with Galway losing to Mayo in the Connacht final.
This Pathé News clip of the game features some frantic video of the game though not one of the main things you actually want from the news - who actually won it.
