NEVER STOP DREAMING – MAYO’S STORY OF ALL-IRELAND GLORY
For 75 long years, Mayo dreamed of lifting Sam Maguire once again. In 2026, that dream finally became a reality! This week, I’m joined by author Edwin McGreal, co-author of Never Stop Dreaming: Mayo’s Story of All-Ireland Glory.
We chat about the inspiration behind the book, the incredible journey Mayo supporters have been on, and why this is the perfect souvenir of a season that will live forever in the hearts of Mayo fans. Never Stop Dreaming tells the compelling story of the year Mayo finally went all the way. From the low expectations at the beginning of 2026, through the twists, turns and drama of the championship, to that unforgettable All-Ireland final victory over Kerry.
It’s a story of belief, resilience, passion and a county that never gave up on its dream. After 75 years of waiting, Sam was finally coming home!
Tune in for a brilliant conversation about the book, the memories and a historic year for Mayo football. Please sign up to my Patreon for weekly bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/BigNewsComingSoon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
