Cavan minors 1959

‘Back-from-the-dead’ Gael shocks reunion

The Cavan Minor team of 1959 recently held their 50-year anniversary to
commemorate their All Ireland final appearance of that year.

Most of the team are still alive, but one of the players, reported to
be dead in The Anglo Celt the previous week (info came from one of the
organisers, who was a team member) turned up at the function.

Turns out he was living as a wino, down and out for 40 odd years in
London and SOMEHOW got wind of the function and landed to it.
Rumours that the Cavan board were aware he was alive but to stingy to pay for his flight ticket are in all likelyhood, probably true.

BUSKER:
Kevin McCormack, right, caused former team-mates to do a double take
when he turned up at a reunion of the Cavan 1959 Ulster minors’ winning
side

I saw that ..... class!
