Paddy Small has opened up about the litany of hamstring injuries that have dogged his Dublin career, revealing he's had '20-plus' tears in the last 'five or so years' alone.

Last year's All-Ireland final goalscorer has had a stop/start senior career with Dublin, lining out in two All-Ireland finals and netting in last year's defeat of Kerry, but enduring frustrating spells on the bench and, even worse, the treatment table.
