‘The scans revealed the thing I feared the most’

IT was a passage of play similar to thousands John Galvin has been involved in his career.

Last Sunday a ball dropped from the sky around midfield in the Fingallians GAA club in Swords in Dublin as Galvin was in action for Limerick in a senior football challenge game against Down. The Croom man rose to gather possession but collided with an opponent and was left crumpled on the ground, clutching his left knee in serious pain.

“I was going for a ball when a Down player, I can’t remember who it was, came in,” recalls Galvin.
