Aidan O’Shea admits Alan Dillon departure a wake-up call

Mayo’s Aidan O’Shea has revealed his team-mate Alan Dillon played with a broken foot in the 2016 All-Ireland final games against Dublin.

O’Shea revealed that Dillon “has been great around the group”, as he paid tribute to the Ballintubber man and pharmaceutical firm Allergan work colleague, who yesterday announced his retirement from inter-county football.

The 35-year-old steps away with eight Connacht titles and two All-Stars and will be considered one of the finest footballers never to win an All-Ireland title, having played in six All-Ireland finals, two of them last year when he came on as a substitute.
