    Sounds of the Summer: My time with the Dubs and shaping the game as we know it | Jim Gavin

    Welcome to our Sounds of the Summer podcast, a look back, and look forward, to some of the biggest GAA stories which dominated 2026. Here, former Dublin player and manager Jim Gavin sits down with Colm Boohig and Ger Gilroy for his first interview since his ill-fated presidential campaign. The eight-time All-Ireland winner opens up on where his resilience really came from — the Air Corps, learning to respond rather than react, and how those lessons carried into dressing rooms and big days. Gavin also reflects on the “chaotic” years as a Dublin player, his early coaching path, and how close he came to the senior job in 2008. Plus, his take on the new football rules: blanket defences, the 40-metre arc, the hooter, and making the game more watchable. Become a member and sign up at offtheball.com/join
