ADAM HOGAN was shocked when he first met his hero Brian Lohan then stunned into disbelief when the Clare boss called him up for the Banner over a decade later.

Hogan recalls that he was seven or eight when, on the ferry from Rosslare across the Irish Sea at the start of a family holiday, he spotted Clare's All-Ireland winning star full-back Lohan.

"I used to idolise Brian," he said. "I saw him there and I was in shock. I didn't even go over to him, I was too shy.

"My parents had to go over and my mother introduced me.

"He probably doesn't remember now but it was surreal. I even knew Brian then, like that's how (big a) character he is in Clare he's one of the heroes.

"I'd say he doesn't remember it. Actually, I was watching the 1995 All-Ireland final a week ago, it was unbelievable.

"Back there, he's inspirational. Like he is as a manager, I suppose.
