The journey through the evolution of Gaelic football continues as Paul Rouse, Maurice Brosnan and James Horan ask why the game we love exists at all 

We'll address questions like where did the game come from, who were the people at the centre of its development and how did it evolve over the decades. 

This is Episode 2 in a 10-part series which was initially produced for Irish Examiner subscribers. 

From the next episode on, we'll examine individual games, starting with Galway's All-Ireland final win over Meath in 1966.
