RTE commentator's heart set on a Mayo 'Sam' triumph

RTÉ GAA commentator Marty Morrissey has given his views of Mayo football ahead of next Sunday's All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Kerry at Croke Park.

He stated: “The people of Mayo, and I say this genuinely, are the greatest supporters in the world. In my humble opinion, your footballers to me, are all heros to have given so much of their lives to a common cause, their love of football and Mayo. 

“I come to Castlebar in the depths of winter and the stand is full. Your passion, your love of football is unquenchable and I love you for it. 

“With the greatest respect to all my friends in Kerry, Dublin and Tyrone let Mayo win the All-Ireland football final! 

“Now I have to put my RTÉ hat back on and say may the best team win! But now you all know where my heart is. 

“I would love to see David Clarke, Lee Keegan, the O'Shea brothers and all of the rest of the lads bring Sam Maguire home.â€
