Cillian O’Connor has hailed Mayo’s recently retired trio of Jason Doherty, Kevin McLoughlin and Brendan Harrison.
All three players retired after Mayo’s defeat to Dublin in last year’s All-Ireland senior football quarter final and O’Connor, their long-time team-mate, has described them as ‘three unbelievable servants to Mayo football.’
O’Connor saved some special praise for Harrison, the 2016 All-Star corner back, who he says did some ‘superhuman stuff’ to make it onto the field in recent years.
Having played on the same underage team as Harrison, O’Connor knows him well and is well aware of the injury hell he experienced since 2020, which saw him restricted him to just six League and one championship appearance in his last three years on the panel.
The Aghamore club-man’s injury woes began in 2020 with a knee injury that continued to persist until 2022, when he suffered a cruciate ligament tear.
