The Crossover is a new series from The42 and eir Sport. Each episode tells the story of a very special Irish athlete – and their love for a discipline that is not the one we know them for. 

HE’S BEST KNOWN as the Cork football captain who was part of the last Rebel side to claim All-Ireland football glory in 2010.

But did you know Paul Kerrigan grew up in the shadows of Turner’s Cross and is a massive Cork City fan.

As part of our series of intimate short documentaries called The Crossover, he discusses choosing football over soccer and his life-long love of City.
