Dublin v Kerry in '77: Is it the greatest game of Gaelic football ever played?

It’s Sunday, 27 August 1977 and I’m standing on a seat in the old Cusack Stand in Croke Park. Dublin and Kerry are playing the All-Ireland senior football semi-final.

I’m a seven-year-old in short pants and a t-shirt. The sun is shining and am full of ice cream from Hughes Shop on Jones Road, which was owned by our cousins.
