Age is just a number when it comes to Down legend Mickey Linden.
The evergreen 55-year-old is still going strong and added a Reserve medal to his collection at Pairc Esler yesterday.
The 1994 Texaco Footballer of the Year came off the bench to kick an “outrageous point from 50 yds” in Mayobridge’s 1-15 to 0-7 final win over Burren...
