Originally produced to celebrate Anthony\u2019s retirement in 2008, Axel explores how Anthony helped Munster become a major force in world rugby while staying true to his core values of loyalty, bitterness and pride.<\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nMunster Rugby\u2019s favourite son, Anthony \u2018Axel\u2019 Foley was born into the heart of a sporting dynasty. His father Brendan epitomised everything that was hard and honest about that special brand of rugby specific to his native city of Limerick. Axel\u2019s unparalleled rugby brain was his inheritance. He became an iconic figure for a generation of Munster Rugby supporters and players who saw in him all that they would aspire to in themselves. His characteristic honesty, heart and single-mindedness saw Axel through an unequalled playing career.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nIn \u201cAxel\u201d, Anthony looks back over his record-breaking Munster career with a review of Munster\u2019s most unforgettable days in Thomond Park and abroad. Helping Axel to relive those glory days and sometimes painful memories and paying tribute to an unparalleled sporting career are:<\/p>\n<table style=\"width:60%\">\n<tr>\n<td>Declan Kidney<\/td>\n<td>Alan Gaffney<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Paul O\u2019Connell<\/td>\n<td>Ronan O\u2019Gara<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mick Galwey<\/td>\n<td>Peter Clohessey<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>John Kelly<\/td>\n<td>Alan Quinlan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Marcus Horan<\/td>\n<td>Jerry Flannery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Barry Murphy<\/td>\n<td>Ian Dowling<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dutchy Holland<\/td>\n<td>John O\u2019Neill<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pat Murray<\/td>\n<td>Keith Wood<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nCommenting on the Premiere, Kieran Hartigan (Director) [The Brave &#038; The Faithful (2006) \/ The West\u2019s Awake (2012)] said <em>\u201cThey say you should never meet your heroes.
