They say you could hear a pin drop during his talk.

One of the stand-out moments from this year's Toy Show was when Michael O'Brien from Kerry got to meet his hero Davy Fitzgerald.
The 11 year-old was on the show chatting about the book, Little Croker by Joe O'Brien, that had been translated into braille.
However, the real warm and fuzzy moment was when GAA-mad Michael got to meet his favourite manager, Davy Fitz. On the show, Davy promised to bring Michael to some of Wexford's league games this year to chat to the players beforehand:
"He's not here!"

Yesterday, Davy managed to fulfill that promise, and brought Michael with him to the Wexford-Tipperary game as his guest of honour.
It might not be the last time Michael's in the backroom team because his pre-match talk helped Wexford edge out Tipperary by just one point in injury time.
Wexford coach Seoirse Bulfin tweeted that "you could hear a pin drop" when Michael spoke to the players:
Absolute privilege to have Michael O’ Brien with @OfficialWexGAA today. What an inspiration to kids and adults alike. You could hear a pin drop when he spoke to the players before the game. A truly super young man #AllianzLeague #Inspiration pic.twitter.com/jnzcfSrCgI
