John Mullane: Davy Fitz and I remain aloof

Waterford legend John Mullane admits his relationship with former manager Davy Fitzgerald remains “awkward and stand-offish”. 

Tensions developed between the pair following alleged comments by Fitzgerald — who was then Clare boss — that Mullane was finished ahead of the 2012 Munster championship meeting of the counties.

Waterford won the game, with Mullane celebrating wildly in front of the Clare bench at the full-time whistle.
