Twas the mighty London team (who had knocked out Galway in the quarters) that Limerick had to bate in the semis in 1973.
Winning is all that counts … we were losers long enough - we need to make hay while the sun shines.
You’re so full of shit
We’ll bate it out of him

We are the Detroit Pistons and Hego is our Dennis Rodman
The Treaty City Bad Boys.
As I’m sure you know Gerry Rea marked his brother that day
They were all the sons of Mackey
Absolutely, only even more dominant and violent, please the Gods.
In the name of Mackey, Hartigan and the holy McKenna. Amen.
You forgot Cregan. One of the greats of any era. An artist.
Genuinely in with a shout of the GOAT is cregan imho
A hurling artist
We’ll have to come up with the ‘dirt asterisk’

An army man. They were supposedly significantly fitter than your average team of the time.
He trained the limerick footballers afterwards in the 80s
