Niall Quinn, his dazzling dad, and the roads not taken

A few warning words from his late father kept Niall Quinn on track

Niall Quinn celebrates scoring on his debut for Arsenal against Liverpool.

“Quinn was making his first appearance with the senior team at Croke Park. This debut will long be recalled, for he scored all three goals. Two of these were as dazzling as any score ever seen in an inter-county contest, but in stating this there is no intention in belittling his third goal.

"He showed that he knows what a full-forward should do and his accurate and quick striking marked him out as one of the most promising full-forwards in the game today.”
