He’ll still be remembered as barneys son.

Be weirdly cruel for Barney to disavow him you’d feel

Ah he won’t. Barney had 3 good years. 83-85 before Liam Harnan nearly killed him in 1986. He was never the same after.

Yeah, after that when I used to play on him he was very keen on “minding himself”. That was fine by me, I bore him no ill will.

Don’t the Rock family still have a set of keys to Croke Park or something?

Its been in the family for over 100 years or that?

I love those sort of little traditions that get carried on.

happy to report that rock uses active travel methods to get around Malahide

Cousin Joe.

He must be in the 90s by now?

His son has them now I think.

Thank God, you’d be worried for him going around locking all them doors at his age.

Some man to kick a free. The difference between themselves and Mayo on many occasions was a top quality free taker.

Woolly got the exclusive interview. Interesting in fairness.

Joe senior passed away about 3 years ago. A legend - it was as if Croke Park had been built around him!

A howler by Joe.ie. He made his debut back around 2013. Unless they’re counting minor and U21 in those 16 years. But even then he was 23ish making his senior debut so it wasn’t continuous.

I’d say they’ll shut up shop after a howler like that

He’s been over to us a few times training the kids and he’s a great lad. Kids love him and he was very good to them while having a few pops off Walsh being their hero.
