3rd favourite moment......Tony Izzi's four goal haul, still a record I think.
2nd........................Big Sam scoring a diving header against St. James' Gate (the only goal of the game), and, down on his knees, "walking" to the 5 or 6 fans behind the goal, arms open to receive their adulation.
1st....................Fran Hitchcock going into goal after Brian McKenna had been sent off, and successfully seeing off two penalty attempts by the same Drogheda player.
(it was hard not to include Barry Ryan's goal after 7 or 8 seconda against Kilkenny City, also still a League Record, and a moment I was priveleged to see.)
