Gooch an all-time great — Micko

COLM COOPER has been hailed as one of the all-time greats of gaelic football by Kerry legend Mick O’Dwyer.

O’Dwyer described Gooch’s second half display against Mayo “as good as I have seen by any player in Croke Park.”

O’Dwyer last night said: “From the day that I saw him as a Kerry minor, I knew that he was going to be one of the great players of our time. He proved that again on Sunday but not alone that he proves it all the time. He was outstanding against Mayo. His second half display was as good as I have seen by any player in Croke Park.
