Davy almost lost desire in painful Déise days
Fitzgerald revealed how he collapsed on the dressing room floor following Waterford’s All-Ireland final hammering to Kilkenny back in 2008. Added to the 23-point annihilation inflicted by Brian Cody’s outfit, Fitzgerald pointed to the 2011 Munster final defeat at the hands of Tipperary as one of the darkest afternoons during his spell in charge.
Moreover, the All-Ireland winning manager claimed he was struck three times, once to the head, walking back to the dressing room at Páirc Uí Chaoimh following the Déise’s 7-19 to 0-19 drubbing to Tipperary.
