Tipperary's All-Ireland-winning manager Liam Cahill barely got to finish his sentence before his post-match interview on live television descended into glorious chaos.
The Tipperary boss was chatting to BBC reporter Thomas Niblock after his side's All-Ireland final triumph over Cork when he was mobbed mid-broadcast by a stampede of celebrating players who were on the traditional victory lap with the Liam MacCarthy Cup in hand.
"We've had some great players in Tipperary, and we say, 'Where are we going to find the next one from?'" Cahill said, explaining the county's hurling conveyor belt.

“Then suddenly this fella appears out of the blue, and one or two more with him - and that's just the joy of being from Tipperary."
Seconds later, his players gatecrashed the interview with hugs, roars of celebration, and an impromptu chorus of "Ole, Ole, Ole," before lifting their manager onto their shoulders to deafening cheers.
Cahill beamed, cup in hand, as Niblock desperately tried, and failed, to remind them they were still live on air.
"Look at that!!"
