Spillane fears Sam won’t visit Kerry for years

Pat Spillane fears Kerry may already be close to halfway into another 11-year spell without an All-Ireland title.

The Kingdom legend, who reiterated his desire to become the county’s U21 manager, doesn’t see the county bridging the gap to their last success in 2009 any time soon.

He bemoans the lack of “warriors” in the team now that Tomás Ó Sé and Paul Galvin have retired and says it’s quite possible another barren patch like 1986 to 1997 is upon the county.
