"He has everything you look for" - John Kiely on Thomas O'Gorman

"He has everything you look for" - John Kiely on Thomas O'Gorman

Former Déise manager John 'Jackson' Kiely says that Nire full back Thomas O'Gorman is the best defender Waterford have ever produced. O'Gorman is going for his eighth county medal on Sunday.

"I would put him down as the best full back I've ever seen. He has all the qualities you look for in a full back. He can play off the two feet, fast off the mark, a great football brain, totally focussed and determined. Susses out the opponent. He has everything you look for in a full back. On top of everything, he's fearless as well."

The Nire and Rathgormack will go head to head in the county senior football final for the third year in a row on Sunday at Fraher Field. It will be the George Corbett Skoda Big Match on WLR. Join Kieran O'Connor and Gary Hurney for live coverage from 3.15.

Hear more from John Kiely on Lár Na Páirce from 6.10 this evening.
