This week, the GAA Social sits down with former Wexford footballer Matty Forde.

The towering Ballyfad man is regarded as one of the greats of the game, winning an All-Star in 2008 as the Slaneysiders confounded expectations to reach that year's All-Ireland semi-final.

However, they were far from a flash in the pan, having reached the 2005 league final, beaten by an Armagh side that included none other than Oisin McConville.

In a wide-ranging conversation, Forde talks football and family, discussing the modern game, the glory days in the purple and gold, while opening up on the recent loss of his father, Paddy.
