The buildup to All-Irelands inevitably involve memories of previous finals and those no longer with us. In 1997, Liam Higgins and Weeshie Fogarty – both, alas, have passed on – commentated for Radio Kerry on the Kingdom’s victory over Mayo. Former Radio Kerry broadcaster Ted Creedon contacted us about a brilliant article that Liam wrote 40 years ago. At the time, Ted was editor of a youth club magazine called Ógra an Daingin. He asked Liam to write about Sam Maguire, after whom the All-Ireland senior football cup is named.
