Pure class
The Toughest Trade aired on TV3 on Thursday night. From start to finish it threw up heartwarming stories as former Spurs and England midfielder David Bentley travelled to Armagh to play for Crossmaglen with Aaron Kernan going in the other direction for a trial with Sunderland.
Meanwhile, Jackie Tyrrell was in Miami trying his hand at baseball with the Marlins, while Brian Schneider was in Kilkenny getting to grips with hurling.
The response on Twitter was overwhelmingly positive. Here’s some of the best.

Doubt I'm the only person who would have had a completely different impression of David Bentley to the one seen in #TheToughest
