Mayo Fans will be interested in this documentary next Saturday morning atd 9.10 on RTE Radio One (note Radio - not TV) The following is a description of it in this week's Mayo News:


A documentary which examines the state of football in Mayo over the last 50 years will be aired next Saturday, June 27.  The programme entitled "The Script of Hurt" is presented and produced by John Scally, the author of a number of sports books including "Best of the West: Connacht GAA Greats".  It will  be broadcast at
9.10 am on RTE Radio One.

The documentary looks at the story of Mayo football since the glory days of 1950 and 1951 in the company of Paddy Prendergast, Seán Freyne (who captained the Mayo minor team in 1953), Willie McGee, John O'Mahony, Willie Joe and Billy Joe Padden, TJ Kilgallon, Mary O'Neill (mother of former Mayo star Kevin) and legendary Roscommon footballer Dermot Earley, who was born in Mayo.  Among the issues to be examined are the legend of a curse put on the 1951 team by a priest angered at a funeral being interrupted, the tragic death of Ted Webb in 1976 and the murder of John Morley and Henry Byrne in 1980
