A heartwarming short film of Dessie Farrell, an Irish man from County Meath, remembering coming to England and joining the GAA (Éire Óg Club) in Oxford in 1962. This video is one of many interviews conducted by Henry Wymbs & Máire McSorley who have written a commemorative book and Máire has made a video to celebrate 50 years of the GAA in Oxford.
