Leo Barry's mark in the dying seconds of the 2005 Sydney Swans grand final win

That's just an ungainly scramble for the ball by an ugly mob.

This is a mark.

I could be wrong here....................................................


But we all know Tadgh Kennelly took out poor Nicholas Murphy at the start of AI final, is that him doing a sly tackle and fouling for the Sydney Swans??

High catching ? Has anyone got the photo of Pat Campbell of Armagh Harps, there is a photo of it in the clubhouse I believe.
Some of the Harps men may be able to assist on this one.

That's a foul! Mick's knee in Purdy's back. Despite being "probably"the best footballer that ever lived in many people's opinion.....he wasn't afraid to indulge in other ways to gain an advantage! Even Kerry people have told me yarns.

Dara O'Se often had the same action when rising for a ball

[Syferus]

Surprised this one hasn't appeared yet, particularly with BC1's avatar. Has to be one of the genuinely iconic moments in gaelic history.



July 22nd 1962, Castlebar.
Roscommon vs. Galway, Connacht Senior Football Final.

Roscommon down 1-04 to 2-06 with 12 minutes remaining. And then the crossbar broke.

Sean Purcell's final game for Galway, Gerry O'Malley's finest hour.
