Including the brilliant "People of Galway, we love you" line, a rendition of 'The West's Awake' and Michael O'Hehir's almost disbelief at how good of a sepech he is witnessing. It had been 57 years since Galway's previous All Ireland Hurling Final win and you can feel all of the emotion from that barren period spilling out in this speech.
