Ger Lyons is a two-time Classic winning trainer, has sent out over 1,000 winners from his Glenburnie base and is recognised as one of the powerhouses of Irish racing. Not a bad for - by his own admission - a "failed" jump jockey!

In the latest of our in-depth special interviews on The Friday Club, Racing TV's Kevin O'Ryan and Fran Berry speak to the straight-talking and charismatic trainer about his life in racing and how it all began - as well as looking forward to future aspirations and what the years ahead might hold for Lyons and his team.
