Fiery footballer reveals his passion for fashion

GAA star Paul Galvin may have a reputation as a hard man on the pitch, but he has revealed he is the ultimate metrosexual off the playing field — willing to fly to Dublin for a new outfit ahead of a big game.

The enigmatic footballer is one of the most talked about Gaelic players in the country but a fly-on-the-wall documentary gives a fascinating insight into the fashion-loving forward.

The documentary Galvanised — to be shown on RTÉ tonight — reveals the heavily tattooed Kerry star is the very antithesis of a conventional GAA player and more like a dark, brooding, David Beckham-style sports icon.
