Joe Brolly's ego is bigger now than it was during his playing days according to his former team-mate Anthony Tohill.

Asked by gaa.ie "what was he like as a team-mate?", four-time All-Star Tohill answered: "Ach, he was hard work!

"I'm sure people will appreciate what I mean with that. There were times when Joe didn't necessarily do the team thing, when he didn't necessarily want to put in the effort that we all demanded of each other.

"He didn't necessarily like towing the line. So if you were asked to go to the cone, Joe might have stopped short of it. If you were asked to go around it, Joe might have cut the corner.

"But he was a very likeable presence. He was an entertainer - as we all know, Joe is an entertainer.

"In those days ... he has become maybe a bigger ego than he was in those days, he'll forgive me for saying that because there were many big characters in that dressing room and Joe was one of a number."

The All-Ireland winning midfielder, speaking ahead of his Legends tour at Croke Park this Saturday, concluded: "Brolly? I could tell you plenty of stories about Joe, but I better not say anymore!"
