Peter Crowley recovers from horror ‘Braveheart’ clash during Kerry training

Peter Crowley has revealed how a horror training ground clash with Kerry colleague Johnny Buckley left his nose shattered and him resembling “an extra out of Braveheart”.

The Kingdom defender had to withdraw from their Munster final team that faced Tipperary after colliding with Buckley’s forehead a week or so ahead of the event.

Crowley said that while powerful Buckley, a close friend off the pitch, was left with a minor gash, the Laune Rangers man himself suffered a badly-broken nose.
