Planes, buses and ice-creams: Mayo's great escape from Ruislip - their sliding-doors saga
Fifteen years ago, Mayo football faced a critical moment when James Horan began his management. This event marked the start of a tumultuous decade featuring seven All-Ireland finals, one draw, and six defeats. The journey was filled with uncertainty and potential disaster, symbolized by a significant incident in London. This period became a defining era for Mayo, characterized by both triumphs and heartaches, shaping the team's legacy in Gaelic football.
"Next month marks the 15th anniversary of that surreal Sunday when James Horan made his first summer statement as Mayo manager. The start of a riotous, roller-coaster decade embracing seven All-Ireland finals, one draw, six defeats and an infinity of 'what ifs'."
"A tantalising era almost killed at birth by a London burning."
