Legendary RTE pundit Pat Spillane is set to appear on Friday night's Late Late Show as the long running talk show returns to TV.
Ryan Tubridy will welcome a number of guests including Spillane who will talk about life after punditry.
It was a legendary punditry career for Spillane who became as well known for his Sunday Game appearances as well as his playing career.

And he made his final appearance in this year's final as Kerry beat Galway to capture their first All-Ireland win since 2014.
Spillane, 66, won eight All-Ireland medals before hanging up his boots over 30 years ago.
He lives in Templenoe with his wife Rosarii, and three children Cara (1990), Shóna (1992), and Pat Jnr (1997).
What some fans may not know is Pat’s father Tom was not around to witness his success, as died suddenly from a heart attack when he was just eight years old.
Tom died of a heart attack in his mid 40s, leaving Pat's mother to rear four children and run the family pub alone, while Pat stepped up to become the “father figure” of the family to his three younger siblings.
He explained: "But my mother was unbelievable; the bar work was 14 hours a day, 363 days a year.
"Everything she did in her life was for us. It was work, work, work and she never took a holiday."
Pat’s mother later passed away in her mid-80s in 2012, but the pundit remains a self-confessed “Mammy’s boy” despite being married to his wife Rosarii for 33 years and having three children Cara, Shona and Pat.
Speaking on the Late Late show previously, Spillane said: "Sometimes my poor long suffering wife, who will be my wife 32 years next month, will say to me every now and again, 'I have only married your mother' and she is probably half right."
"We are together 32 years and I am a Mammy's boy but I have never changed from the day I met her to now."
