The Double 30 years on: 'When Paddy Russell blew the whistle, the roar was ferocious'

In an extract from Adrian Russell's The Double, we revisit the moment Cork made history 30 years ago today 

The Cork and Meath teams walking the Croke Park pitch prior to the 1990 All-Ireland SFC final. 

In the Cork dressing-room at half time in the 1990 All-Ireland SFC final, Billy Morgan instructed his players to go back out and win the game for Colm O’Neill, who’d been sent off for a dig at Mick Lyons.

The players were keyed-in and left any consolation of their dismissed colleague for later.
