Following on from the success of Jeff and Kammy’s Journey to Croker, AIB challenged ex-Premier League managers Harry Redknapp and Gianluca Vialli to settle a 20-year rivalry between two GAA clubs - Castlehaven (Cork) and Erins Isle (Dublin).
The eight-episode series ‘The Toughest Rivalry’ saw Vialli, who won Serie A and the Champions League with Juventus and later managed Chelsea Football Club, take the reins of Erin’s Isle of Finglas. Redknapp, former Tottenham, West Ham and Portsmouth manager, has agreed to take hold of West Cork side Castlehaven. Both managers began their journey with little to no knowledge of the GAA but have been tasked with getting their respective teams match-fit for a rematch of an infamous All-Ireland club semi-final from 1998.
The campaign surpassed 10 million views and was chosen by YouTube EMEA as best-in class for content.
