He used to spend a good proportion of the game lying on the ground holding his head while peeking through his fingers to see if the ref had noticed. Couldnât hack the argy bargy at midfield so they stuck him in corner forward out of harms way.
Outstanding imagery there and it tallies with my recall too.
I have a vivid recall of a Kildare supporter near me on the Hogan Stand lower deck during the 1993 Leinster final (the only occasion I ever watched a championship match from the old Hogan Stand lower deck) standing up and angrily shouting âYer afraid of yer fuckinâ shiteâ. I suspect it was aimed at a particular player who may be under discussion here. TDH.
When he won a free, heâd automatically kick it off the nearest opposing player, throw his hands in the air and bring the ball up ten yards for himself. An awful fanny.
