Experience the unforgettable, the GAA’s glossy TV ad campaign tells us. Similar to Ireland’s first win over the All Blacks, Galway’s defeat of Dublin was scarcely believable because so few fans had experienced it.
A rugby game in Chicago back in 2016 produced a moment of history. But it was on an obscure cable sports channel, so it never really entered sporting folklore. Galway finished off the greatest football team in the history of the GAA on Saturday night. Not since Cork beat the all-conquering Kerry in 1987 did an era come to so forceful an end.
