That photo

opa01_2000

The photo from the 1979 All-Ireland final with Brian Mullins 18 inches off the ground and Seanie Walsh's ankles around Mullin's shoulders as he catches the ball above. Probably the best gaelic photo I have ever seen.

Anyone know where I could get an electronic copy ???

Haven't seen it but I'd love a copy of that.

Dont know if this is the one ye are thinkin of but its a damn good one all the same!

Class, theres not enough high fielding in the game. That statement is done to death but nonetheless true

You just cant beat a high driving catch in the middle of the park

Flukey

That is a good photo but it is not the one being talked about.

Aidan O'Rourke who plays with Armagh has a shop in Newry called Sporting Visions. It deals with photos from all sports and would certainly have that photo.

I am not sure of the website but i presume its www.sportingvisions.com

Thanks guys - not the one I'm looking for. The one I'm thinking of was a "full frontal" with Seanie's ankles around Mullins' shoulders.

Did you ever manage to find "That Photo"? I have been after it myself with no luck....best GAA photo I have seen...would love to find it and get it framed...

They have it on the wall in the Kerins O'Rahillys clubhouse. I'll find out where they got it for you.

Willie Joe Padden was another man who was famous for his high fielding, if you look at the lad behind Mullins, you can see how high they are.

In the picture I'm fairly sure the OP is talking about one of Welshy's kness is drawn up in front of him, so I'm fairly sure that's not the image there...

My dada even as Cork man used to talk about this picture.

I have to say it is a great photo. Words cant describe it but awesome is there somewhere.

Shoota

wow, thats all i can say really.

Batmans dad

white men cant jump...

I saw a similiar photo of Teddy Mc Carthy a few years ago in a pub somewhere around Kilbarry/Eathpeacon.

I remember seeing it and being stopped in my tracks in disbelief at the height that he was fielding

I dont know

Slightly off topic (cant find the photo you're looking for online) but I think this is a class photo of some high fielding - some would suggest it’s a dieing art?
