Six-time All-Ireland winner with Kilkenny, TJ Reid was lauded for his physique and name during an episode of 'Stick to Football', a YouTube series on the 'Overlap' channel presented by ex-footballers; Gary Neville, Ian Wright, Roy Keane and Jill Scott.
Just over two weeks ago, Reid made club hurling history by winning a record 12th senior club county championship with his native Shamrocks club.
But, even prior to that accolade, the seven-time All-Ireland winner with Kilkenny already made an impression across the pond.
On a previous episode, the Overlap panel discussed the best and worst sporting occasions the panel have been to, with proud Cork man Roy Keane slipping the All-Ireland Hurling Final into the discussion.
However, local ears perked up when TJ received praise from the decorated ex-footballers.
Ex-Arsenal striker Ian Wright was visibly impressed by the name 'TJ' to which multiple Premier League winner with Manchester Utd Gary Neville replied, "it's a great name."
