Fox: Tipp fans can drive us forward

If Gaelic Football’s All Star selectors are looking for nominees from outside of the game’s big hitters, they could do far worse than cast a glance in Brian Fox’s direction.

In three championship outings this summer, the dashing Tipperary wing-back has been nothing short of outstanding. Even in defeat against Kerry in the Munster SFC quarter-final, the Éire Óg Annacarty tyro was man of the match in the eyes of many.

Fox, who turned 24 on Thursday, produced yet another assured performance when Tipperary defeated Offaly in their first round qualifier.
