Teddy McCarthy: I was treated like a ‘bowsie’ in Croker

Teddy McCarthy has claimed he was treated ‘like some bowsie in a nightclub’ when attempting to enter Croke Park on Sunday - the former dual star a notable absentee from the 1990 Cork jubilee team presented to the crowd prior to the All-Ireland football decider.

The four-time All-Ireland medal-winner grew frustrated after being sent to three different entrance points in attempting to make his way into the Hogan Stand premium level shortly before noon and was then told by security personnel to come back in an hour when he had calmed down.

The only player in the history of the GAA to win both All-Ireland hurling and football medals in the same year, McCarthy left Jones Road in a fit of rage and was well down the road home when his name was called out at Croker.
