David Brady says Cillian O’Connor not getting credit he deserves

David Brady believes his fellow Mayo man Cillian O’Connor would be receiving more praise were he from another county.

Former midfielder Brady rates the Ballintubber forward as the greatest he has ever seen play for the county. Asked why O’Connor is not getting the credit he deserves, he replied: “Because he’s a Mayo man, that’s the God’s honest truth.”

Brady added: “The whole question was have they got a marquee forward? Now everyone is seeing that he is a marquee forward. He carries himself well and he’s a role model on and off the pitch. For me he is the best Mayo footballer I have ever seen. I have played with some of the heroes of the past but I see this guy as the ultimate team player and he is in the top two or three players in the country.”
