PJ Molloy (Galway) - Playing career: "The first big day for me would have been the minor final of 1970. It was the first time that county had been a national final since the '50s - but Cork hammered us. Winning the under-21 in '72 was the first big breakthrough. We beat Dublin in the final and Tipp in the semis. Inky Flaherty taking over the seniors in 1974 was very important and we won the National League the following year and lost an All-Ireland final to Kilkenny. The highlight of my career would have to be the win in 1980. It was huge relief for my vintage of people. We had tasted enough defeats. The year before we had lost everything - All-Ireland, league final, Oireachtas, Railway Cup. Doubts were creeping in. We were on an absolute high after the win, it was absolute heaven. As for a low, well I was most disappointed about 1985. We had a perfect blend, new fellows like Finnerty, Keady and Cooney and maturity as well with the likes of Steve Mahon and Conor Hayes. We could have gone to win four or five in a row if we had won that. I came on as a sub for the 1987 win and retired after a league quarter-final in March '88 - the club (Athenry) had just lost the All-Ireland to Middleton the week before. I had enough then."

Coaching career: "I was manager of the Athenry team that won an All-Ireland in 1997 and I was a selector with Cyril Farrell from '96 to '98. I bailed out after the loss to Waterford. It's a very poor second to playing the game."
