Former Wexford captain and manager Liam Dunne says he would have put his life on the line to aid his county’s drive to All-Ireland glory in 1996.

Centre-back Dunne was named man of the match after a stellar defensive display against Limerick, but an aerial clash with Gary Kirby has also earned him plenty of criticism in the subsequent years.
