It was a little jarring to watch all these years later and think that the explosion of emotion that immediately followed a win over Kerry was only replicated for Kerrigan (2012) before the Mark Keane goal recently.

Kerrigan, as it happened, could do both, which is not surprising for a Nemo forward.

That wouldn’t last and there must have been spells in the darker times, and as Cork slipped further away from what the likes of Dublin and Kerry and Mayo and Donegal were doing in preparation, it just can’t have been an enjoyable experience.
