Sammon latest victim of player power
Rumours of player discontent have swept through the west since Galway suffered two harrowing defeats to Mayo and Donegal last month. After the Donegal loss Sammon intimated that he would see out his term, but it is believed that several squad members wanted a change in manager.
Following much deliberation, Sammon notified Galway Football Board chairman John Joe Holleran that he wished to step down, and a gathering was arranged. Holleran paid tribute to Sammon’s dedication.
