Is there anybody here who was present for dublin winning Sam in 1995?

As in were you at the game and did you stay for the cup to be lifted?

Im wondering does anyone have any pictures of when charlie redmond lifted the cup?

Your best bet is to ask Flukey.He has been going to games since before most of us were even born.

I was only a young-en at that stage (well, 13 actually) but remember i was in my GAA club for it. It is a bit odd actually. I typed it into an image search in google but there are none there.

I was there and I was on the pitch but I think you will find it was John O'Leary who lifted the cup. Pictures from back then are pretty hard to come by, maybe one of the papers will have archive photos.

I was there, AND, I got to lift the Sam myself!!!!!

Think I was about 12 or 13, and my brother was a couple of yrs younger.

Was there in '95, was on the pitch, but certainly didn't have a camera. Try looking through some of the archive photos on www.sportsfile.com

My abiding memory of that year was lifting John O'Leary onto my shoulders in front of the hill after the Leinster final win. Ah for the days when Dublin players weren't afraid of an oul pitch invasion and would bring the trophy down to the hill after the presentation. In those days getting out of the hill after a match onto the pitch was an art form, no waste high barriers in those days it was up and over the cage with you, unless one of the stewards decided to open the gate (which in fairness was a regular enough occurance most notably at the end of the '94 AI final when one Mr McCarten from Down decided to do a little "showboating" in front of the hill that would be fitting for another thread not a million miles away from here, the older dubs will know exactly what I'm talking about)

The Ticketmaster thread?

wow sierra

Were any of ye at the Goal challenge afterwards. The pitch was invaded at the end by the Jayo groupies - just as well Sherlock is a good athlete, I think he was running for his life:)

Boom Boom Boom come on say Jayo:D

AndyP

I was at it alright, didnt Jayo play in goal and O'Leary at full forward?

I was at the 1995 final, but didn't get any photos. I was at the 1983 final, but didn't get any photos either. I wasn't at the 1977 final or the 1976 final, but after one or other of those, a few of the Dublin team brought the Sam Maguire to our school. I managed to slip my way through the crowd of kids and reach out and touch the Sam Maguire. That was of course the old Sam, not the one they use now. That was first presented to Joe Cassells of Meath in 1988.

Legend has it Flukey, that about 20 minutes later Martin O'Connell sat in the new Sam and completely banjaxed it.
