Seán Silke: I think every year is going to be Galway’s year
Little did Seán Silke think, when he made that statement in a 1994 interview, that the wait for Galway’s next All-Ireland title would have ticked along to 27 years.
As a player, Silke had plenty of tough days in maroon before the success arrived in 1980. He’d lost All-Irelands in 1975 and ‘79 and went on to lose another in ‘81. Seven seasons, four finals and one Celtic Cross... the current crop of Tribesmen would probably take that return.
