Dubs deliver despite late scare

JOHN MINNOCK is one of the few that truly knows how Michael Murphy feels right now.

Former Athlone Town playmaker Minnock never quite lived down his UEFA Cup penalty miss in a scoreless draw with the mighty AC Milan in 1975.

Murphy, at least, has the rest of his senior career to make amends for Saturday night’s spot kick disaster which, hopefully, won’t still be recalled in another 35 years.
