Any good tidbits or interesting records out there?

I'll start - Jimmy Murray is the only man to captain his county in five senior football All-Ireland finals.

Sligo are I'd imagine the only county to have qualified for All Ireland football and National Football League finals but never to have played in any final in either.

Vin Baston (Waterford) refereed the 1945 hurling final prior to playing on the winning team of 1948.

Eh?

Apparently, Matt Gallagher never kicked the ball in the 1992 All Ireland final, despite playing the full match.

Nothing unique in that. Some Mayo players have achieved the same feat in several finals.!!

I think Francie Bellew is unlikely to have kicked a ball in his entire 'footballing' career.

Jim Gavin won six Cumann na mBunscoil finals - only person to do so afaik

Hardly a major stat. Most defenders now never kick balls. In fact, bar kicking for a score you don't see much kicking from certain teams.

Kevin Reilly kicks the ball a lot.
A bit too often actually.
