It can honestly be described as one of the most incredible sports comeback stories.

Michael Hurley joins Rish & Rath fresh off of playing his first game of football in 666 days after overcoming a career and life-threatening hip infection.

Despite being pressed for time on the episode due to work commitments, one of the club's most loved and respected players speaks about the emotions of returning to the game after being sidelined for nearly two years and the journey he went through to get back to playing.

Hurley also speaks about his many unique hairstyles over the years, re-piercing his ear while in the hub and an eye-opening run-in with extremists while attending Pamplona's Running with the Bulls festival.
