Peter McKenna Q&A: ‘We could have sold 120,000 tickets for the All-Ireland football final’
The last time Tipperary senior hurlers and Dublin’s senior footballers were crowned All-Ireland champions in the same year was in 1958. On September 7, Tipperary, captained by Tony Wall, beat Galway by 4-9 to 2-5 at Croke Park. Three weeks later, Dublin, skippered by the late, great Kevin Heffernan, were 2-12 to 1-9 winners in the football final. If Dublin win tomorrow, victory would mean Tipp and Dublin are champions in the same senior season for the first time in 58 years.
