1993 replay against Armagh in Breffni Park. We played brilliant stuff that day but my abiding memory is being behind the goal where we scored our goals in the first half and the crowd going crazy. JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 05/09/2018 12:17:31 2139406 Link 1 |
22nd September 1957 when the smallest county in Ireland beat the biggest county in Ireland on a score line of 1-09 to 1-07 in a David v a Goliath clash. The wonderful Wee County won their third All Ireland and their first Sam Maguire. Louth's heaven was 57. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 05/09/2018 12:28:20 2139411 Link 1 |

I guess the 1980 All Ireland Hurling Final when Galway finally won was one of my standout memories as a young lad. The 1982 Football Final when Offaly beat that great Kerry team was huge for me too. Lots of changes since then... Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2127 - 05/09/2018 12:31:05 2139413 Link 0 |

Haha TheHermit as soon as you I read that post , the image of that forward came into my head :-) he was a lively forward for Limerick who was always a danger to us. Those days in 91/92 going up to games to the Gaelic Grounds in a bus with my father organised by the Club. Couple of pit stops on the way and a couple down. Some people had gone for pints somewhere else away from the rest us and most of left waiting for them to come back and the driver of the bus going mental threatening to leave without them! woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 05/09/2018 13:06:28 2139435 Link 0 |
Woops what was his name, maybe some Limerick poster might know? I wonder is that game on youtube or anything I think it was a pretty close and high scoring. I certainly remember my Dad and my Godfather being very animated throughout and at the final whistle. Sure them were the days when you could jump into the driver seat after a sculling a few pints and no-one batted an eyelid. Crazy to think of now. I remember coming back from the Gaelic Grounds after Clare's historic win over us in 92. My God we must have stopped in every second bar from Limerick city to the Halfway on the way back. Sure I was happy out, crips and cidona till I was fit to burst!!! TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 05/09/2018 13:31:53 2139452 Link 0 |

1976 All Ireland Semi final between Kerry v Derry. I was 7. Dad took me to a live screening of the game in Coventry. I drank 3 bottles of fizzy orange. Good times. FootblockREF (Monaghan) - Posts: 564 - 05/09/2018 14:07:37 2139475 Link 1 |

I remember going to the county final between Na Cealla Beaga & Naomh Columba in 1990. Both teams were very strong back then and contained players who would backbone the All Ireland team of 92. You had Manus Boyle, Barry McGowan, John and Barry Cunningham from Killybegs and the Noel Hegarty & JJ Doherty from Glen. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9154 - 05/09/2018 14:43:15 2139500 Link 0 |
Think the stand out players on that team were Philip Danaher, a young John Quane and Joe Reddington would Reddington be your man folks? Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 05/09/2018 15:07:01 2139512 Link 0 |
Think that was the game Sean Bonner was harshly blamed by McEniff for Down's goal. Bonner left the panel and missed out on his All Ireland medal in 92. My first real memory was the 92 semi final v Mayo. I don't remember too much about it to be honest, just the delight of getting to the final afterwards. I watched that 92 semi final back not so long ago and it was a truly awful game of football, littered with mistakes and awful shooting. Spillane was bemoaning Donegal for their short hand passing even back then!! HandballRef (Donegal) - Posts: 520 - 05/09/2018 15:43:46 2139528 Link 0 |

The league semi final in 1994 against Meath. My first time in Croke Park. The attendances for those games back then would be greater than provincial finals now. Concerned_Supp (Westmeath) - Posts: 71 - 05/09/2018 19:09:12 2139612 Link 0 |
