The location was one of the great stadia in the high summer, and the precise time was half an hour or so after a keenly-contested inter-county championship game.

According to the legend, they weren’t anabolic steroids but recreational substances, and the player wasn’t interested in having his play-time chemical of choice named for all to see.
