Eamonn Fitzmaurice doesn’t strike us as man who gives one damn about tradition.
And he certainly will not let anything stand in his way of winning the 38th All-Ireland senior football title for Kerry this weekend.
The Kingdom boss has made three changes to his starting 15 with Marc O Sé, Paul Murphy and Kieran Donaghy all dropped for Sunday’s showdown with Dublin.
O Sé was hoping to start his 10th all-Ireland final but is understood to be suffering with a hamstring injury.
If he does not feature on Sunday in the starting team, it will be the first time since 1972 that an O Sé has not started an All-Ireland final for the Kingdom.
If Marc Ó Sé misses out on Sunday, will be first time Kerry start an All-Ireland final without a member of Ventry's royal family since 1972.

Incredible, and especially when it’s thirty years since Paidi O Sé gave this amazing speech after beating Dublin in 1985.
