Four-time All-Ireland winner Galvin said:
"I came back to the room around 1 o'clock. Gooch had disappeared. "The game was at 3:30pm and this was about 1:15pm. So he would have been up for breakfast, physio, lunch and then he disappeared. We had about an hour to kill so I headed back to the room and I see this little tuft of red hair under the duvet, and there's not a stir out of him. "So I go 'It's time to go. We have to get on the bus and we have a team meeting'. "I was getting the bag ready and there's still no life out of Gooch. Next thing, I pick up my bag and drop it. He grunts... 'What time is it?' "It's quarter past one Gooch. "'Oh Jaysus... I'm going to stay in bed'. "I said, 'We've a game there about 3:30, if you wouldn't mind joining us'. Gooch just stretches. 'Ah, we've a few minutes yet'. "It was like he hit the snooze button. Back asleep for five minutes. Rolled out of bed. Hit 1-5 that day."Kerry won 3-13 to 1-9 and Cooper could rest easy... for another while at least.
