really enjoyed the tg4 program about anton, must say found it a bit upsetting [not the right word] to see my childhood heros are now old men , and realize im not that far behind them , 10/15 years

Replying To Stmunnsriver:  "really enjoyed the tg4 program about anton, must say found it a bit upsetting [not the right word

A fine documentary on one of my favorites from Heffo's Army; Anton and Mullins were the two I most liked.

Both absolute heroes of players, but unfortunately gone far too soon. RIP the two of them.

A good tribute to the Blue Panther. Was my favourite Dublin player in that era.

I only remember the latter part of his career but a fine documentary. My father loved it and said it brought memories back.
TG4 make so many good documentaries.
