Mickey Harte: Brian Dooher’s 2008 point the best Croker’s seen

Ten years on from Tyrone denying Kerry a third consecutive All-Ireland title, Mickey Harte has described Brian Dooher’s point in that year’s final as the “score of all time”.

As the counties clash in Omagh on Sunday with their Division 1 statuses confirmed for another year, Harte regales on his TG4 Laochra Gael tribute next week about the majesty of his captain’s first-half score in 2008 to tie up the sides.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better point scored in Croke Park, and I doubt if I ever will. I think, to me, it was the score of all time, the way he carried the ball, of the tackles he shipped, and he still had the energy and quality to put that ball over the bar. I don’t think I’ll ever see a better point scored in Croke Park — that’s my firm belief.”
