Doyle has now played more championship matches for Kildare than anyone else, scored in 50 straight games in the same competition and his 16th-minute free against Derry made him the first man to claim 100 points in the qualifiers.

“There are special players out there but my opinion is ‘can you play them anywhere’ and I think with Johnny you can,” said McGeeney.
