Kieran Donaghy is without doubt the most high-profile player to come out of the show. The Tralee man was part of the 'Underdogs' panel in 2004, the most fondly remembered series of the show, as they defeated All-Ireland champions Kerry.
Donaghy partnered up with Pearse O'Neill on that 'Underdogs' side, and not only did both men go on to represent Kerry and Cork with distinction, but they both won All-Ireland medals.
So, the proof is there that this show can be the launchpad for someone's career.

The season premier is this Thursday night at 9.30pm, we reckon there could be a few inter-county bosses watching on closely in the hope that they show can uncover the next 'Star Donaghy' for their side.
The show is proper David vs Goliath stuff, and Gaels around the country are sure to be tuning in to see if they recognise any faces from rival clubs or counties.

Time for these boys to show the nation why they should have been playing county this whole time.
