Comeback Conor enjoying his journey back to the limelight
Gleeson was captain and midfielder for Tipperary in their nadir year of 1997, when they were beaten in both Munster and All-Ireland finals by Clare.
Though he went onto win National League titles with the Premier in 1999 and 2001, and a Munster championship in the latter, he failed to nail down his place in the squad. Not a happy time then?
