Diarmuid Connolly - A Rosebush upon a dungheap.... Empty Diarmuid Connolly - A Rosebush upon a dungheap....

The title says it all.

I've been at HQ since 1956 and in the interim years I haven't witnessed a display such as Connolly's today.

Purcell dominated Padraig's father Paddy in '56, Jim McKeever wiped out the Timmons/Joyce axis in '58 and lost, Gerry O'Malley single-handedly curtailed Kerry in '62 and the aside observation of the entry of Colm O'Rourke into the final of '91 pales into insignificance.

Joe Cooney's 1st. half circa 89/90 at s/f stage versus Cork is also recallable, but nothing trumps Connolly.

I'm leaving it open for discussion:

I presume the dungheap was the Castlebar defenders or management who did a useless job marking him. Castlebar were lucky they didn't concede 8 or 9 goals one of the worst defensive displays i have ever witnessed in Croke park.

seen something from former Dublin great Anton O' Toole over the weekend where he said it was the best individual performance in Croke Park he had ever seen.

Still havent watched the game myself but it is sitting waiting on the old Sky+
