Anyone know where I can source this picture?

Training for 1982 I’d say.

@kerry1891 would you know?

Give us more info on the photo, like who took it, who’s in it, where is it, how did you get that picture in the first place. What’s scribbled on it?

Then you might get some answers.

I dont know who took it, when it was taken or where. Like the above said, think it was taken in the lead up to the 1982 AIF. The scribbles on it are signatures of the players in the photo I believe

I would imagine if you emailed Ray McManus of Sportsfile he would at least send you the right direction

I presume you’ve seen it on the Paudie O’Shea website?
I’d send off the web master there an email. They might have a better copy.

Someone needs to adjudicate these. For fuck sake.

Can we all just agree that screen grabs cannot as a rule be considered great sporting pictures.

No but we can agree that horse racing is not sport.

What’s the context here, it’s in no way a good photo so I assume that’s the reason.

There’s a story told in the book Seabiscuit about a horse race in the early 30s, tje point was to explain how athletic the jockeys were,
A guy fell off his horse and another jockey caught him one handed before he landed, he tried to throw him back on the saddle but he flung him right over it, a jockey on the other side caught him one handed and threw him back onto the saddle
Didn’t he go away and win the race
