A quiet, modest gentleman and one of the greatest we may never see his likes again. As a young boy he gave me some really great advice in cahersiveen about how to maximize the benefit of your practice and how you could measure your progress yourself. His dedication was immense. Saw him in his 40s for south Kerry giving some man of the match appearances you just couldn’t believe the talent on show.
When the GAA are trying to decide the rules they just need to look at players like Maurice and Mat Connor and say "How can we ensure that pure footballers are let play". I'm not sure Maurice would be the same in today's rugby league type game.
