Michael Quinlivan: Buzz was great after Nemo Rangers win

Fame wasn’t something Michael Quinlivan was all too familiar with even around his native Clonmel. That was until November 29 last when his last-gasp goal torpedoed Nemo Rangers and annexed a Munster Club SFC title for Commercials.

“People stopping you in the street, people coming up to you, that sort of stuff doesn’t happen to footballers, especially in Tipperary let alone in Clonmel,”he says.

“That doesn’t happen. The buzz around the place for two or three days was incredible. There were cameras down, the place was just hopping and everybody wanted to be a part of it.
