"When someone like Colm Cooper retires we tend to lose the run ourselves," wrote in the Independent back in April. "What is certain is that Colm was the ultimate purveyor of skill. "He was like a computer animated footballer. Perfect balance. Perfect skills. Left foot, right foot. A perfect understanding of space and time. "His goal finishing was without doubt the best I have seen. "But, as I have often pointed out, he wasn't a leader in the mould of Peter Canavan or Trevor Giles or Colm O'Rourke.

Rather that or a pretty awkward few minutes for all concerned - except O'Roruke of course.

He used Mayo club champions Ballina Stephenites as […]
