He never allowed him onto his left foot.
It was wonderful to watch.
Ah, it's extraordinary.
I mean, you're going to speak to Keith later on, Keith Duggan later on, you know, and he wrote a definitive book on male football, as far as I'm concerned, called The House of Pain, which was a study in the entire archive of heartache experienced by the people.
And the people have yearned for this for years.
They've yearned for this for 75 years.
What it did yesterday, it sated the urge.
It fulfilled the wishes of a starving tribe that if they're in a county, the football is everything.
Gaelic football is everything in this county.
And it satisfied that craving that the generations had longed for.
Like 75 years is a long, long, long, long time.
But my God, Matt, if you'd have seen yesterday, I came in from the Whitehall end.
If you'd have seen, I saw it described as the murmuration of green and red that went all the way from there into O'Connell Street.
I'd say Mayo supporters have numbered Kerry supporters by, I'd say, four to one.
And, you know, there was people back from all parts of the world to attend that yesterday.
But it's the people, the messages you get, Matt, from places like Wisconsin that you get from Bangkok, things like that, from Australia, you know, text messages from lads who were listening in to you.
You know, that outpouring of emotion, it meant everything to them.
It's the thing that I feel myself, it means so much here, Matt, that all of a sudden they're respected.
That word, Matt, they have regained respect and they will no longer be seen as, you know, you read the list there a little while of the loss that they've had in an All-Ireland final.
This here has all of a sudden elevated onto a kind of a pedestal that they no longer can be jeered or smirked at.
