‘The GAA didn’t get the best out of what Joe Lennon had to offer’

All-Ireland winning Down boss Pete McGrath believes the GAA erred badly by not taking full advantage of Joe Lennon’s remarkable mind.

Down great Lennon passed away on Wednesday having devoted much of his life, on and off the field, to Gaelic Games.

He was part of the first ever Down team to win the All-Ireland in 1960, bringing the cup over the border for the first time, and later managed the Mourne County.
