Video: Jackie Tyrrell took a hurley and sliotar to an NFL stadium and slammed over a lovely score

You can take the man out of Kilkenny...

The other tourists must have wondered what the hell he was doing

Kilkenny defender Jackie Tyrrell is on holidays in San Francisco and he has made some time to pay a visit to the brand spanking new home of the San Francisco 49ers, Levi Stadium.

But proving that Kilkenny folk are truly obsessed with hurling, Tyrrell not only packed a hurley and sliotar for the trip, he also brought them to the stadium and popped over a free from the 45-yard line.

Wonder will Brian Cody put him on free taking duty now?
