The greatest game ever?

Today, Paul Rouse, James Horan and Maurice Brosnan, focus on a key inflection point in the history of the sport; the 1977 All-Ireland semi-final between Kerry and Dublin.

How are managers starting to shape tactics, what influence did the Dubs have on the game's evolution, and the recollections of Hill 16 favourite Robbie Kelleher.

This is Episode 4 in a 10-part series which was initially produced for Irish Examiner subscribers earlier this year, in which we explore the development of Gaelic football over the decades.
