One of the most controversial episodes in the GAA's history was the removal of Ireland's first President, Douglas Hyde, as patron of the GAA. He had attended a soccer match between Ireland and Poland just after his inauguration as President. This was a breach of the GAA's ban on 'foreign games'. Here, the events are explored.
