Tuesday was the second anniversary of Shane O'Hanlon's death. Two years. F**k. In our ex-Dublin players WhatsApp group, lads were sharing memories. There aren't enough hours in the day to retell them all about Shane."
"But it was nice realising you were having the same feelings about Shane and his loss as everyone else."
