"The kid plays with the relaxed air of a scruffy schoolboy messing around with his pals waiting for the bus. One could imagine him playing the entire game with a fag hanging out of the corner of his mouth. Yesterday, he quarter-backed Donegal's victory with a simply awesome display, delivering the ball to all parts of the field as if by remote control, leaving Armagh players scampering around like dogs chasing aeroplanes."
