Dermot Earley must have broken the travel ban judging by the colour of him.

David Moran, Tommy Walsh, Tadhg Kennelly due one soon

I don’t think he mentioned his club but i was flicking.

Nope he didn’t. Played for Sarsfields was it? Johnny Doyle came across well.

Not sure I’d have agreed with Vincent Hogan’s assumption that Kildare would have beaten Cork in the 2010 final but to be fair it was a very open championship that year.

The Dow’s Laochra Gael will break lads here

The Dow could make a comeback at club level yet so he still has a few chapters to write.

The Dow has told his story a few times now in the papers.

That 65 he missed against Cuala in the drawn final to put them 4 up before Moran’s goal from the free will haunt him to the grave.

How he found redemption later that summer etc etc.

Haven’t seen this but Cork would have beaten the shit out of Kildare in 10’, they’d have been 3 or 4 to 1 on in the final.

Tadhgh Kennelly was a top player in fairness.

Actually so was Tommy Walsh in his prime, maybe the best pure targetman of his era only for leaving.

A great young man, it will be a pleasure to view it when the time comes

Kevin Moran Dublin surely worth a show, his emergence in 1976 was a huge factor in the 1976 and 1977 all ireland successes. They need a bit of new blood at the time and he brought that. He was also a new breed of centre back, pushed forward like his counterpart Tim Kenneally who was a more traditional centre back that just held the middle

add in the man utd, euro 88, italia 90 etc and you have some show

That’s affirmative from yourself you never ever doubted him so you didn’t

I pushed him to be greater.

if kerry only kicked 2 or 3 more balls into him in the 2019 drawn final, there would have no 5 in a row for Dublin , he had the dublin full back line in a jocker the few balls he did get

went defensive instead of going for the jugular

Dermot Earleys body wasn’t able to cope with modern day training methods.

Remember talking with a lad who played under McGeeney in Kildare telling me the amount of problems lad had with knees, hips etc due to over excursions.

That was a good show ,if quite understated …great athlete and seems a sound bloke with a good story to tell on and off the pitch …defo worth a laoch …not much mention of the ‘Sash though …

He would have won a few county finals back in the day? The rivalry v moorefield surely deserves five minutes.
