Reflections of the Kerryman implicated in the launch of Dublin’s golden era: Barry John Keane is philosophical about a last-gasp incident in the 2011 All-Ireland final via IrishTimesSport kerryvdublin DublinGAA KerryGAA AllIrelandFinal
It was an innocuous enough collision but McManamon was turning at pace in Keane’s direction and anything like contact was always going to lead to a shrill blast of Joe McQuillan’s whistle.
As a source point for Dublin’s golden era, it is hard to look beyond that very moment, though Keane never allowed himself to be tormented by it. “I tried to stand him up and whatever way he kind of came past me, it’s like he wanted the legs to collide,” said Keane of his coming-together with McManamon, the goalscorer that day. “I nearly took my legs out of the way. The game has changed in a way too. You would probably run with the runner now. Back then, you were probably trying to stand him up and stop whatever momentum was coming.”
Still only 33, he played briefly with David Clifford for Kerry in 2018 and was a Sigerson Cup team-mate.
