If you're a GAA fan and have been on social media in recent weeks and months, you'll probably already know who Josh Pray is.
The American comedian became a social media sensation for his amusingly breathless takes on our various gaelic games - so really, it was only right that he attend the biggest one of the year.
Tourism Ireland and the GAA joined forces to bring the Florida man to Croke Park yesterday for the football final between Dublin and Kerry, and he revealed that he had made it with a post on Twitter:
Thank you so much @TourismIreland and the @officialgaa for making it possible to attend the #gaelicfootball #allireland #finals 2019 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 this is living!!!!!! #ireland is beyond beautiful pic.twitter.com/DTM7FwUG0W

On Saturday, he also made a trip out to Clondalkin to meet the youngsters from Round Towers (or Round Terrors, as he called them):
Yesterday in Dublin I met with the #roundterrors and I was humbled 😂😂😂😂😂 https://t.co/bvCyg8cr2a

He even made it to the pub to pull his first pint...
He was clearly very excited about making it to Dublin for the final, and so was everyone else... in fact, there's already talk of getting him on the Late Late.
I’ve never experienced this much excitement and love at one time 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 thank you @TourismIreland and @officialgaa for making this possible 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 I never want to leave #ireland

Did we have @_joshpray on Up For The Match? If not, why not? And is @AerLingus and @officialgaa going to bring him back? Because we got work to do promoting these games, and he’s doing it better than anyone.

Having correctly tipped Tipp to win the hurling final, it looked like he was keeping schtum on his prediction for a winner of the football.
What we want to know is, will he be back for the replay?
