Last night, All Ireland winning captain Declan Hannon of Limerick appeared on The Late Late Show, along with The Liam McCarthy Cup.
With the celebrations in The Treaty County on-going since they got their hands on the cup last month, there was one very special Limerick man in the audience to see his heroes last night.
98-year-old John Hunt, who last saw Limerick in an All-Ireland final back in 1936, spoke to Ryan Tubridy about what the victory meant to him, an even got his chance to lift Liam McCarthy!
