Christ almighty that’s a superb post, the second last one gave me a hop, I had to reread a few times to be sure it meant what I thought,
My old fella died 2 days after the 03 Final, it was the last thing I ever spoke to him about, the thing we felt comfortable talking about even at that stage where we both knew time was short, Gorta Comerfords mishit goal and how that Cork team would be around for a while.
Great post.
