A good friend of mine here in Florida played the the Mitchells in the nineties, from the Galway Roscommon border area.

No, from the Williamstown area

I would say it was around 20000, the place was not full if I remember correctly. It was a good game though, Nally lorded it at midfield, the ball just stuck to his hands.

We could do with a few Nallys nowadays so.

Would have to disagree with you that it was a good game. It was a very stop and start game, in fact there was actually 70 frees in that game. A minute of play didn't pass without some stoppage or other. I'm sure it was good from a Mayo perspective in that it was the first Connacht final victory since the late 60s. Sligo's defeat of Roscommon was the shock of that season. How times have changed!

You could be right about the game, but what stood out to me was the way Nally caught everything...well he seemed to anyway. Twenty six years ago how time flys, a few pints in the meantime seems to have affected the memory.
