Mark Coleman is a 10-season Cork campaigner. Aged 27, 10 summers on the road suggests an early start. A very early start, in fact.

Coleman was just 18 and a year out of minor when Kieran Kingston called him down from the stand and introduced him for Stephen McDonnell late on in Cork’s 2016 qualifier defeat to Wexford.
