‘I was probably as good as the lads...’

Jack McCarron’s audacity last Sunday has re-opened the debate about the great Croke Park Gaelic football goals. 

Colman Kennedy’s winner for Tipperary in the 2011 minor final must be a contender. Owen Mulligan’s in 2005 is the obvious choice and there was a timely reminder of it on Mickey Harte’s Laochra Gael tribute on TG4 during the week.

Technology isn’t as kind to John “Scan” Concannon’s in an All-Ireland minor semi-final 24 years ago but it was just as good if not better than those three.
