Man down.
The very definition of a team player is someone that’s willing to sacrifice the chance to play in their favourite position to help the team out and we’ve a new contender for Ireland’s most versatile GAA player.
Graham Geraghty can step aside because this physio for Laois side Ballyroan Abbey is clearly GAA’s most talented utility man.
In the recent match between O’Dempseys and Ballyroan Abbey, Ballyroan found themselves a man short so they asked the physio to put down the magic sponge and throw on a jersey.
After the teams corner-forward discovered that there was only a few minutes left in the first-half, he decided to head off early because “there wasn’t any point in playing on”. Being a man down, the physio stepped in to fill the vacant place and it was an inspired move because the game finished Ballyroan Abbey 5-11 O’Dempsey’s 0-7.
What a man.
