Goodbye Pádraic Joyce. Here's Brilliant Point That He Scored When He Was 17

Pádraic Joyce, whose photo you'll find in the dictionary under the listing for 'classy footballer', has called it a day. He seems like the last of a dying breed, a player born before the 8-meals-a-day regimen, a player who seemed to roll out of the womb destined to play gaelic football. I saw him play in person once - in the Galway senior club final against Ciaran Murphy's Milltown. It was a dire afternoon and you could tell the setting felt beneath him, but with the game on the line in the second half, he took care of business for Killererin.

Here's a characteristically Joycean point that Padraic scored back in '94 minor final against Kerry: he bobs and weaves until he gets he find the space to slot over from a pretty difficult angle.
