Kieran McGeeney’s success with Armagh this year is the greatest managerial achievement in the history of the GAA. Never before has a team with, relatively, so little, achieved so much.
Never before has a team with no provincial football medals on their collective CV gone on to win an All-Ireland. Not since ‘Heffo’s Army’ in 1974 has a team with no individual All-Stars in their ranks climbed the steps of the Hogan Stand.
