We should all teach young players the ‘Bernie Flynn’ in honour of the Meath legend who vibrated with life in a team intent on taking life

I played on Derry teams against him for a decade, but the first time I met Bernie Flynn was on level six in Croke Park for The Saturday Game on RTÉ.
I can’t remember who was playing but it was Bernie’s TV debut and he was excited. (Note to reader: Bernie is always excited.)
