As we journey through the history of the game, we reach the '90s when rule changes designed to save football from the 'road to oblivion' started to have a profound effect.
We look at Derry v Cork in the 1993 All-Ireland final to examine how these new laws started to affect the play and look back on why they were introduced in the first place.
Paul Rouse, Maurice Brosnan and James Horan dissect the game and put it into context while Tony Leen talks to the Rebels' Anthony Davis, who was harshly dismissed on the day.
This is Episode 6 in a 10-part series which was initially produced for subscribers earlier this year, in which we explore the development of Gaelic football over the decades.
