We're just days away from the 2015 All-Ireland football final which will mark the 10th anniversary since Tyrone captured their second ever All-Ireland title. During his acceptance speech, captain Brian Dooher remembered his fallen team mate Cormac McAnallen who died from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome in 2004.

This man should be receiving this cup today instead of me. His name is Cormac McAnallen. Before Cormac was taken away from us he told us that he didn't want to be a part of a Tyrone team that only won one All-Ireland. Well Cormac you now have two
