Down's Kalum King
Sports all-rounder Kalum King has no regrets about choosing Gaelic football over other sports.

The big midfielder dabbled in boxing, cage fighting and mixed martials before deciding to concentrate fully on his GAA career a few years ago.

"The effort is massive, and all those other sports that I took part in I think this is by far and away the best," he is quoted as saying in The Irish Daily Star.

"I just think the set-up is excellent. I just think the amount of good will in GAA is massive. The matches are as exciting as anything you'll see in any sport. I'd definitely encourage my kids down this road.

"I wouldn't make comparisons. I have done the boxing and that, but I am not interested in it. Why would you want to take part in anything else? Absolutely not."
