Kieran Donaghy: ‘Next thing there’s a finger pulling at my eye’

Kieran Donaghy has described the eye-gouging incident in the 2015 All-Ireland final that led to a one-game suspension for Dublin’s Philly McMahon as a “f****n’ low blow”.

Donaghy had previously refused to comment on the matter but in his autobiography What Do You Think of That? which is out next week, he gives a real-time account of the controversial incident.

And while the Kerry player later expresses his respect for McMahon, his account of the flashpoint in the final minutes of the 2015 decider is bound to further stoke one of the fiercest rivalries in Gaelic football.
