I've never seen someone with an ability to miss the target by the sort of distance that he could when trying to kick points.

It's a testament to the couching set up Dublin have that he played at the top for so long. A friend of mine told me he was the worst intercounty player to ever play for dublin when he first made the team. The lad worked his bollix off to improve and stay in the squad for so long. Imagine that dedication in a player like Mark Vaughan.

O'Gara was a completely different option to anything else Dublin had in the full forward line and that's why he stayed in and around the set up for so long.

He was in essence the stereotypical target man/battering ram we have in soccer, where if things aren't working you chuck him in to ruffle up defenders and to be a genuine nuisance or on the other side put him in on a full back who would struggle with his physicality.

In truth he was a very poor footballer, not an ounce of technique in him but genetics and fitness/gym work etc got him an inter county career.

He reminds me of Conor Sammon in many ways! 

All in all though, you can't knock O'Gara's medal haul!

Surprise  to a certain extent I think. Expectation from most had been if he was going he'd have announced it not long after the final

Declan Darcy one of his selectors is the favourite at the moment. Paul Clarke will be in the running too I think. He took charge for the O'Byrne Cup games the last few years. He's 7/1 with PP's might be worth a few quid

He said previously the Senior Job doesn't interest him. Stepped down as Na Fianna gaffer after the Dublin championship. Some talk of Gilroy being in the mix but can't see it as he stepped away from the hurlers for work reasons.
