Despite the plaudits from the presenter & his accomplice about the famous hill in Clones at the beginning, personally I’d rather be anywhere from a safety point of view, no exits in the middle of the bank apart from the openings at each end, no crush barriers, & I’m sure stewarding was limited relative to the size of the crowd. Ten years later for the same occasion on an infamously wet day it was said to be a miracle that nobody was killed on the bank due to the density of the crowd & the slippy conditions. It was the last Ulster final played in front of the famous old bank.

The plaudits about the hill in Clones were ill served. It was a very uncomfortable place to watch a match especially as a child. Also, when it rained it turned into a quagmire. I saw people literally up to their ankles in muck in 1993.

When you see the skill of county players in that era in comparison what the level of skill and fitness in 2020s. Big difference, not that that matters . Everything evolves. But let me get to what I really want to discuss, and it has nothing to do with the players It is the fans .I was a member of the audience that watched the 1997 final . CAVAN /DOIRE The small pocket of supporters in front of us started chanting with great aplomb "Londonderry Bastards". This continued for a few minutes, until us Londain Doire bastards took a wee minute to sort out the 9the county boys out . I never seen as many broken noses or busted ears in 2 minutes, I felt sorry for the 2 guards that came down to investigate the schism. They soon got out of the road also . But the moral of the story is .never and I mean never mention the word London to a Derry man .we might not win much ,but you will see how we respond to gobshites.

Great video, thanks for putting this up. Do you have any coverage of the Dublin v Offaly Leinster Final from 1983? I've looked everywhere but found nothing.

There's bits of it in a TG4 biopic about Ciaran Duff, I think www.tg4.ie/en/player/home/?pid=6013114493001&teideal=Kieran%20Duff&series=Laochra%20Gael%20&dlft=32
