Was this the game that prematurely ended Micky Sullivan's outstanding football career? I got to know Dennis Ogie Moran at NIHE, Limerick in the late 1970s, a gentleman.
The first point of the game by the great Brian Mullins RIP was awesome after the shoulder he got, then the great John Egan RIP rounds 3 Dubs to score a great goal with the outside of his right boot, No bheidh a leithead Ann aris!
Did they have cattle grazing on Croke Park before the All-Ireland Final back in those days to get the pitch in order? It looks like something from the National Ploughing Championship.
Every team needs a few of them. Kerry would not have won as many AI's if they did not have a few hardmen of thier own. The O'Se's, Donaghy and so on. Some players are not blessed with natural football ability like 'the former princes of the pigskin' and had to play to thier strengths.
I started to get annoyed how O'Hehir kept calling Kennelly 'Kenel-eee'? Also Paidi O'Se was 'Paud'. It seems that Ger Canning and Marty Morrissey are not the only ones who butcher or change names.
One can the incipient greatness in Spillane at this stage; scores dream points and back helping out the defence.. great work rate.

Amazing the way he rode those 'tackles' and never flinched. Probably a yellow, red and black in there in today's terms.

O Driscoll, Larkin and Doherty, not an ounce of football in any of them. Complete hatchet men.

Absolutely correct. Mickey Sullivan never played a good game after.
this not a game it is a street fight with dublin getting away everything (ie croke park ) nothing has changed
Francis Jordan you sound freaked dude.Amen.
To add insult to injury an idiot of a referee more interested in where the free is taken from than how a player was taken out during 'play'

If there is one thing I can't abide , it's a whistle hapi ref. Destroyed the game. Finekey waster.
Dublin were always a bullie of a team,
Today's lads wouldn't last a minute back then...too worried about their hair.
Today’s lads would thrash every one of the top players from that generation. It’d be men vs boys.
