It's All-Ireland final day and Croke Park is chock-a-block with fans from Tipperary and Cork fired up and ready to cheer their team on. 

Pictured outside of the grounds on Sunday afternoon were Ken Hogan, the former Tipperary hurler who played as goalkeeper for the team when they won the All-Ireland in 1989 and 1991, as well as Johnny B of 'The 2 Johnnies' fame.

The two local legends were in great spirits ahead of the game, Ken knows exactly what it's like to be in the position the players are in today so he'll certainly be going through the emotions with them in the build up to and throughout the match.

Cork are chasing their first Liam MacCarthy triumph in 20 years, while Tipperary are looking to reclaim the title they last lifted in 2019.

Throw-in is scheduled for 3.30pm, with Galway's Liam Gordon appointed as referee for the big game.
