Dentist John crowns a remarkable comeback

JOHN BROWNE’S appearance as a substitute in the All-Ireland final win over Kilkenny was the perfect end to a remarkable comeback.

Browne, a member of the last team to bring Liam McCarthy Leeside in 1999, was out of championship hurling for two years due to his dentistry work in England,
