Joe Brolly playing the shame game against Colm Cooper

Could Cooper yet be forced to walk naked in atonement through the streets of Killarney, asks Mike Quirke.

I’ve always had a notion to write a book at some stage. Not about myself, of course. No way. Let’s be honest, a few hundred pages reading about my inglorious time playing — and moreover, not playing — with Kerry would be about as big a seller as sun cream in December.

Kerry guys have done so many autobiographies in the past 10-15 years, there really can’t be much left that hasn’t already been said.
