New captain needed to steer Mayo ship out of troubled waters

As has been their habit since the innocent summer of 2011, the Mayo football team hasn’t been short of takers lining up to bury and praise them in recent days.

That is how it has been with this group of players – wherever you’ve stood on them, a Brutus or Marc Anthony, they’ve had a unique capacity to make you feel good about yourself.

Maybe you’re one of the many enthralled and inspired by the way the likes of Colm Boyle, Lee Keegan and Keith Higgins would keep coming forward and how they’d all keep coming back; oh to have a team like that of your own to support the past eight years.
