Dermot, Was Tadghie related to Jackie Lyne? The reason I ask is that back in the early seventies when I joined the civil service I worked with a lovely lady Margaret Lyne who told me she was a brother of Jackie. I think she may also have been a close relative of the great Spillane brothers Pat, Tom and Mick of Templenoe
@@seancrowe8488 thanks for your enquiry Jackie Lyne was an uncle of the 3 Spillane brother as their mother was a sister of Jackie and also a sister of Canon Michael lyne Dinny Lyne who played for Kerry they were known as the Lyne’s of Cleeney just outside Killarney town they played club football with the legion and my father played for the Dr Crokes
Great memory, my Dad was at this game and the Offaly final.Some outstanding Down players I remember seeing Paddy Doherty score a point for Ulster he simply caught the ball turned and shot I believe he never even looked up to see where the goals were.
@Jami Cavan were 1st to bring Sam to Ulster, yes but they have always been part of the Irish republic. Down was the 1st of the 6 counties of the North to bring the cup across the border.
As if you didn't know🙄...Irish national identity was comprised mainly of Roman Catholicism and the GAA. Imagine seeing the head of the Church of England at an FA Cup Final😱
As a Tyrone man who grew up on stories of this team its amazing to see the footage
Brilliant clip & pleasure to watch the game in 1960, thank you
That's crazy that they started the game with the photographers still all around
My late father Tadghie Lyne that was his last All Ireland Final he played in

@ 2:10 there's something that in the old days they can't do that anymore
No matter what ever happens in GAA finals, We were the 1st county to bring Sam across the border.

Excellent footage!
Great achievement by Down.
Something lovely about the old stadiums
Great video
@dineswater Glad you liked it....there are other similar videos on youtube of the 1960 Final but this is better in terms of picture quality.
@78Snipsey There's only been 727 views because there's another similiar video on youtube, uploaded before this one.
There was a lot of barbed wire in crokePark in the 1960s !
Showing a trusting attitude to the supporters.
Maybe a 2020 take on things.
My granda player I’m that match he died this morning to cancer
A Down player that played in the 1968 Final died today, John Murphy RIP.
Who was the referee in 1960 final
Heroes 👍
Of course, the ever present catholic church in amongst the celebs!!! WHY?????

Fans back then some craic. Dressed sunday best, sat behind barbed wire (some down fans would soon get very used to this).
Great stuff
poor standard of football all the same
It was over 60years ago players did not train like it is now you can't say poor football down were a great team
11 years ago were you a sex god? Are you still?
what a stupid remark
