Brian Howard says he is prepared to “do whatever it takes” to taste further All-Ireland glory with Dublin.

The Raheny clubman has already collected five All-Ireland winners’ medals in the sky blue jersey but is in the mood for more as the Dubs prepare to put their title on the line against Galway in Saturday evening’s quarter-final at Croke Park.

“The feeling of winning an All-Ireland is something I don’t think you can ever replicate,” he told the BBC. “And when you have that agenda in you, it’s just raw emotion and to share with lads that you’ve been through the trenches with. You’ve had those dark nights in early December or whenever it is.

“The circle that you have around you, they know exactly what’s required. And it’s not just Dublin, all counties, there are huge sacrifices and commitment to be representing your county.

“It’s a lifestyle, you do have to sacrifice a lot but there is time for your social life and to go back to your club. But when you’re in the high performance environment, you just want to be successful, you do whatever it takes.”
