Kerry may not have won the Sam Maguire in eight years — but fans are more scared of getting a parking ticket outside Croke Park on Sunday than the spectre of Galway stealing Sam.

For Kerry people, Sam Maguire’s natural home is the Kingdom and they always say “losing Sam”, or “Sam was stolen” or “Sam is home”. So much is Kerry sure of Sam this year, details of the return party have been announced.
