Yeah it was a great thrill to see them all looking so well. We should saviour it because it will be a long time before our 2 senior teams grace Croke Park again on all Ireland day.

I had been looking forward to the 2007 All Ireland for a while now.
Great to see the players all there too.
Especially with the likes of Martin Furlong and Gerry Carroll having come back from America.
I hope they're all still around for the 50th anniversary!

Great to see them as fit as they were 25 years ago. Loved the way they introduced them to the crowd (a Kerry crowd at that!!) in groups of brothers. Maybe thats one of the reasons that this team has still the same bond as they did when they won the all-ireland!!

It's just a pity RTE's pundits could not shut up quick enough to catch the introductions from the start. Gerry Carroll was just stepping back into line by the time Brolly O'Rourke and Lyster managed to close their beaks and so we missed the introduction in particular of Matt Connor.

Just a wee gripe.

I agree. It wasn't as if RTE had been broadcasting anything of any importance just beforehand. Still, t'was good to see them all again.
