Michael Murphy backs focused Paul Flynn to produce on big day

Donegal captain Michael Murphy has backed his friend and former housemate Paul Flynn to start the All-Ireland final replay for Dublin — and have a big game.

Wing-forward Flynn continues to put in the hard yards though has failed to rekindle his four-in-a-row All-Star form of 2011-2014 and players like Paul Mannion and Paddy Andrews are pushing hard for his spot.

All-Ireland winning skipper Murphy shared a house with Flynn at DCU and, more recently, was part of Donegal sides that lost to Dublin on three occasions this season including an All-Ireland quarter-final.
