Cullen’s final focus

He was a surprise inclusion for the All-Ireland quarter-final win over Cork but come 3.30pm on Sunday, it’s likely Bryan Cullen will sit a few yards from where he gave his ‘Coppers’ speech this month two years ago.

It’s an oration the former Dublin captain has never been allowed forget.
