Ray Cosgrove. Dublin superstar, walking away under Tommy Carr. Dubs 2025. Missing that free
About this episode
King of the celebration, a proper Dublin superstar who had to wait seven years for his breakthrough season. Wins, bringing Dublin back from obscurity and in 2002 finishing joint top scorer- but missing that crucial free v Armagh. What could have been. What is the ultimate embarrassment for any Gaelic footballer? Tommy Carr brought Ray Cosgrove on as a substitute in Croke Park, 1999 Leinster final. He was then taken off. Cruel. Their relationship pretty much ended and Ray couldn't play under Tommy again. Kilmacud Crokes is his club, but the children line out for Ballyboden now. Dublin players signing outside players is an issue "That's always been there" we also look ahead to the games this weekend, including Dublin against Derry.
It's honest, funny and an illuminating account of one of the most recognisable Dublin footballers over the past 25 years.
