The Best Thing We Shared

Is there anything more Robbie Keane can do to endear himself to the Irish public at this stage?

On The Record

There is a huge demand but also the modern day Gaelic football athletes want to do what they are doing. I want to set the record straight on that. Some people would have us believe that they don’t enjoy what they are doing, or that it is a chore for them. I have not yet met anyone who does not enjoy playing for Tyrone and I think there are very few county footballers who do not enjoy what they are doing.

Tyrone football manager Mickey Harte wanted to stress that inter-county players are the ones who drive the standards on and they play at that level because they love it.
