Michael O’Brien (11) from Killarney, Co Kerry stole the hearts of the nation when 1.5 million people tuned in to watch him review braille books on the Toy Show and meet his sporting hero Davy Fitzgerald.

But the magic didn’t end there…Davy was so impressed by GAA Fan Michael that he invited him along to one of Wexford’s big games against Tipperary to give the team a motivational pre-match talk.

This heart-warming 52’ documentary follows Michael at home and in school as he prepares for his big day, and sees him deliver his speech to Davy’s Wexford hurling team ahead of a huge match. Will Davy be impressed? Will Michael’s speech make any difference to the Wexford team on the day?

With great humour and passion, Michael gives the monumental task his best shot.
