'Having strong opinions based on nothing at all, except they heard it from a mighty smart man who knows it all...'The same tune magically came on over the Croke Park tannoys just as John Kiely was about to lift the cup last Sunday in Croke Park and, speaking afterwards, that's what he blamed for the jig he danced on the steps of the Hogan Stand.
"What ye don't realise is that the tune that came on is one of our tunes in the dressing room," Kiely said in an interview with Joanne Cantwell on The Sunday Game.
"And when it goes off in our dressing room, we go off with it, so when it went off in Croke Park, I just went off with it!
"So it didn't matter if there was nobody in the stadium, that was always going to happen!
"Look it was a bit of a release valve as well," added Kiely, "at the same time, it was great to go up with my two girls.
"It's been a challenging year but we've withstood every challenge. And I'm just really proud and thrilled for the lads, that's my biggest emotion."
Well Kiely was jigging and dancing again on Monday night, along with the whole Limerick team, when their man Michael Maloney landed down at the Limerick homecoming to rip out a rousing rendition of his famous tune.
'I couldn't get over that, he didn't lick that off the grass, But you never heard that from me. That's the way it's always going to be.'https://twitter.com/ilovelimerick/status/1683576771109609472 Watch our All-Ireland hurling final review show with Davy Fitzgerald right here Related links:
