The last time Cork won an All Ireland title in 2005, central to the Rebels success was Sean Og O'hAilpin, Brian Corcoran and Joe Deane.

Tonight, all three joined Off The Ball at the Roadshow at Cork's Kingsley Hotel to talk about their era which saw back to back titles in 2004 and 2005, as well as another title in 1999. 

The lads looked back at the time when Corcoran returned to the Cork panel for 2004 after more than two years outside the panel and how he was welcomed.

But he also opened about the dark moments which led to him taking what turned out to be a sabbatical after 2001. 

The lads also chatted about missing out on the three-in-a-row in '06, as well as giving their thoughts on why Cork have been unable to win the Liam McCarthy Cup since their time.

O'hAilpin  believes there has not been the same calibre of player since the mid-noughties, while the legends of that time aged.

Corcoran felt there are issues at underage level.
