Mike O’Brien was immense that day.
Greatest Gaelic football game of all time on eirsport now
Clare shocked league champions and All Ireland favorites Tipperary the same day. Both All Ireland favourites eliminated in the month of May.
Proper championship back then.

Wexford Limerick on tonight. Barry Foley having a stormer
Joe Quaid kept score line respectful that day.
Imagine what Wexford would have done with 14 men for full match.
Only time ever watched a match from Hill 16, no place to watch from.
Sean O’Neill got his comeuppance in a big way when he tried to act the hard man on George O’Connor at the throw in.

Lovely scenes at the end with Colm Kehoe (HWH-Bunclody) climbing the fencing.
Any other Wexfordians know where the “Ferdy/Ferdie” nickname came from?
That was a great first half of hurling. The sending off ruined what could have been a classic, but Horan had to take action. In those situations where a game is getting out of hand, it’s probably fairer to send one off from each side, unless someone commits GBH.
1978 hurling final now .
Hope they don’t show Brian Cody getting booed at the homecoming in Kilkenny.
Poor photographer was nearly killed there
He was fouled and got nothing while Ray Cummins got a penalty for a similar incident .
Tim Crowley and Ger Henderson two proper hard men . Ger McCarthy a tough buck too .
Billy Fitz not a half forward .
Boris Johnson doing well at corner back for Cork .
John Horgan died in the last year or two. Joe Hennessy was a really stylish Hurler.

Skehan is only an oul cunt
Watched Kerry-Tyrone 86 there.
Jesus Tyrone completely lost the plot in 2nd half.
Kerry were outstanding though

Defo wouldn’t have been his fault. Didn’t see it though. Just know.
Johnny Mooney was a Rolls Royce of a Gaelic footballer.
