Grown men had wept on Sunday in Kerry, overcome with emotion as they watched their team defeat Galway in the All-Ireland Senior football final, and whole families shouted with joy on Monday night as the team returned to a deafening reception on the streets of Tralee.
Eight years without Sam is a long time in Kerry, and tens of thousands turned out to welcome their heroes home and join the celebrations.
