We were lucky enough to have the Sam Maguire brought to us 3 times in those wonderful years. It was strange to see that big shiny trophy in all the grey of your school yard and buildings when you normally only see it on the telly. I’d forgotten the visits to the school, Conortje.

Although I'd been to England dozens of times by then, it was always by ferry. So flying the once was a huge excitement. Definitely didn't fly back - presumably the schedules didn't fit in - but I have a recollection of coming back by train. That might be wrong and possibly we did travel back by bus - but the 'plane trip dominated the day.

Irish KC readers familiar with McCarthy’s Bar: A Journey of Discovery In Ireland will remember a very funny scene from that folk park.

As upset? Probably not, because I lost my sandals on that trip (don't ask how) and my mother was <i>all picture and no sound</i> for a fortnight. I remember the Kerry-Dublin days all too well.
