Fresh from his ban, Mayo fan Mick Barrett has been spotted strolling around the environs of Croke Park for the All-Ireland Semi-Final replay.
Barrett's return to holding an active spectator's role has earned him celebrity status as he poses for pictures with fans.

The timing of his return seems fitting for Mick Barrett. He was issued a one year ban after breaching the sideline at the Mayo v Kerry All-Ireland Semi-Final replay demanding the combined force of several stewarts to remove him from the pitch. The ban prevented him from attending any GAA games including local club games.
