Babs Keating: ‘Donkeys’ remark eventually worked against Cork

Babs Keating has described the All-Ireland winning Cork team of 1966 as “moderate enough”, claiming it was one of the easiest All-Irelands ever won.

Tipperary were chasing three-in-a-row in ‘66 but were “caught” in the opening round of the Munster championship by Limerick.

Babs reckons if the backdoor had been in place Tipperary would have successfully come through the qualifiers.
