When paying tribute to the late Kevin Heffernan, Colm O’Rourke recounted an anecdote which gave a telling insight into the Dublin manager’s brilliance.

O’Rourke recalled an occasion when both men had been invited to give talks at a coaching seminar. The former Meath star said he went first and gave a long rambling presentation. Then Heffernan took his place at the lectern.

In his opening salvo, the Dublin legend stated that all management must begin with a vision. The vision is everything.
