C'mon Tyrone You're on your own And you'll never bring the Sam Maguire homeThat's what we used to love singing in Derry anyway. We used to cling onto it even when the Red Hands were on the rise, we still had one All-Ireland and they had none. Well, things have changed. Mickey Harte arrived, Sam agreed to go home with Tyrone three different times and now here they are flirting in all of our faces again. Shamelessly too. To make it worse, Tyrone aren't even on their own anymore. Nope, they've recruited help. They've recruited bloody heavyweight help.

The Clonoe man has been desperately unfortunate to have missed the entire season with a cruciate injury he sustained back in January but he is still going to be a huge part in plans going forward. Perhaps Joshua can fill in for now.
The jersey is said to be XXL but, let's face it, Anthony Joshua doesn't need to worry about player-fit or any of that nonsense.
