I’m not sure whether or not he has a medal from 1980. I’d be inclined to think that he probably did get one. They were a lot tighter with who got medals back then though and he obviously wasn’t part of the match day 21 for the final.
Colm Boyle was a great man for a backspin slice point against Dublin. He was able to get a fade on the ball, a bit like Mayo were always good for a fade against Dublin.
