All Ireland Football Semi-Final 1977, Dublin v Kerry

12 Sep 2011
Was this the best football match ever?

Many say that it was but it's always debatable. It certainly was the best match between the legendry Kerry and Dublin teams of the late 70's. They dominated football at the time and both teams were adorned with some of the most talented players galeic football has ever seen. And add to that the fact that the opposing teams also had managers who were, without question, the best we have seen. Kevin Heffernan brought Dublin football from the doldrums to a top class team, individually and collectively, while the managerial exploits of Kerryman Mick O'Dwyer need no embelishing in this blog.

There was great rivalry between these 2 great sides but also great respect and the 1977 semi-final, regardless of whether it is the debatable best game ever, will always be regarded as the best clash of two magnificent teams.
