Moments that Shook the GAA world

[Peter Solan the Great]

I'll start off here. The most shocking moment in recent GAA history for me was in 2002 with the shocking story about Roscommon.

Thursday July 18 2002
ROSCOMMON has disbanded its entire senior football team in an extraordinary sequel to reports of high jinx by players at a hotel.

The squad, which last summer won the county its first Connacht senior title in 10 years, has been told that anyone who hopes to play again must declare any involvement in acts of misconduct.

Trouble started in early May when a British Sunday newspaper ran a story claiming a couple of Roscommon players were caught on a Derry hotel's security video playing pool in the nude.

Good shout Gaffer. I can remember the moment I heard - I was away at university at the time and my ma rang me at 8am to tell me the news. Couldn't believe it and at times when you think about it, its still quite hard to take in and the fact that its over 6 years since he passed away.
