I've a notion there was someone long before your time, Jim. My Dad, Lord Rest Him, used to talk about our minors playing Roscommon - I think it may have been an All Ireland semi-final or a final replay - and a Roscommon player at the start of the second half getting the ball at the restart and putting the head down and going on a solo run and slotting the ball over the bar at their own end and then immediately burying his head in his hands!
I must look this up to see if / when we did play Roscommon in a big minor match in that era.
It could
Only have been in 1992 or 1951...given your dads legendary knowledge of the game I would put money on it being 1951 as I don’t recall that happening in the 1992 semi final.
I do recall it happening in Killeavey in a club championship back in the early 90’s between ourselves and yourselves .... the day of the big fight over by the fence. I recall we won the throw in and a young fresh faced man made a tear to his own goals and .... boom....over she went....that wasn’t you @Big Jim by any chance?
