Cork great Noel O'Leary has opened up about his epic struggles with Paul Galvin, admitting they did 'tango' at times but clarifying that it never got to personal sledging.

Powerful half-back O'Leary enjoyed and endured a series of running battles with Kerry half-forward Galvin throughout the 2000s with the counties clashing in two All-Ireland finals and on several occasions in Munster.
