Let’s relive one of the greatest points in the history of gaelic football…
There have been some wonderful Kerry forwards down through the years, the list is as long as our arm and we reckon right up there has to be the mercurial genius Maurice Fitzgerald. He won two All-Irelands and six Munster titles and a player of his ability probably deserved more but he played through a barren spell for the Kingdom, well barren by Kerry standards.
Anyone lucky enough to see the St Mary’s man will no doubt agree with us that he was pure class. Fitzgerald had wonderful vision, a beautiful weight of pass, awareness, positioning and he could kick points off left and right from any angle, he was simply a joy to watch.
Our favourite Fitzgerald moment came exactly 13 years ago today in the 2001 All-Ireland Quarter Final against Dublin. The Kerry star scored a sideline off the outside of his right boot to level the game in the dying moments, sheer brilliance…
