It is the most famous and talked about goal in the entire history of Gaelic football. The 1982 All Ireland Final, two minutes to go and Kerry are ahead. Seamus Darby comes on for Offaly and scores what was to be the most talked about goal of all time. Kerry were prevented from winning the 5-in-a row of All Ireland titles and history was written.

In this wonderful historic interview in 1998, Seamus Darby talks exclusively to Weeshie on Terrace Talk and recants in fascinating detail the scoring of this goal and how it had such an effect on his life afterwards. This lengthy interview will most definitely go down as a Terrace
Talk classic.

The fact that this goal by Seamus Darby prevented Kerry from winning 5-in-a-row of All Ireland titles turned the Offaly man into one of the G.A.A's historic figures. In fact Seamus admits in this wonderful interview that it was in fact the one and only kick he got in that memorable win for his side.

The big question still being debated decades later is, did Seamus first push his marker Tommy Doyle as the ball dropped between them? It is one of the most controversial debates in the long history of the association. Seamus Darby now lives in London and this classic and now historical interview, conducted from his home, captures for posterity what happened that wet September day in 1982.
