RTE last evening filmed an hour long programme on Ireland's ten greatest ever sports persons. Vincent O'Brien, Roy Keane, George Best were among the 10. The winner was Padraig Harrington.
Also included in the list was Cork and Glen Rovers star hurler Christy Ring. The film showed exploits of all 10 sports people. We were shown extracts from Ring's All Irelands. And then the amazing clip of All Ireland hurlers kneeling down and kissing the ring of the bishop.
How we are all children of our time. What crazy and servile things do we do today that we will be shocked by in 50/60 years time?
