Paul Galvin Confirms He'll Join Dublin Side St Oliver Plunkett

Paul Galvin is a style expert and a GAA legend, although the Kerry man says he likes to keep the two worlds very separate from each other.

While his eyes are firmly fixed on the new clothing line Paul did confirm he'll be playing a bit of football with Dublin club St Oliver Plunkett's this year.

He joined Dermot & Dave to chat about the inspiration behind the collection, his football career and his gorgeous wife Louise Duffy.

The name of Galvin's clothing line is inspired by Spanish football culture, where players refer to their manager as "MISTER."

After reading about Irishman Patrick O Connell, who was manager of FC Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War, Paul decided to use O'Connell's life as inspiration for the collection.

Paul's line this season is inspired by FC Barcelona and is reflective of the colours used in their playing jerseys over the years, the famous "blaugrana" stripes (Catalan for blue and deep red) is evident in several pieces.

Despite Patrick O'Connell's professional successes, he died destitute in London in 1959

Paul says he'll be making a donation to a fund set up to create memorials at O'Connell's birthplace in Dublin and unmarked final resting place in London.

We couldn't have Paul in without chatting about his lovely wife, our very own Louise Duffy.

Although we're not to sure how happy she'll be with the revelation that she's a major fan of karaoke.

But is karaoke a fan of Lousie?!

Paul's collection is available in selected Dunnes Stores around the country.
