5 in a row, what a way to bow out. He finished what Gilroy started in some style. Attention to detail was unreal I’d say, summed up this year. Down a point in added time this year, down a man= keeper to full back full back pushes out to pick up spare man = turnovers. 👏🏻 Jim Gavin

Jim Gavin! That departure is a bolt from the blue. As well as a bolt to the blues! Saw him last wk @IYFcharity event where he spoke about his Dub mgt plans for 2020, with Dean Rock next to him. Shocker! Still, a GAA gentleman as well as a legend. Good luck to him and his family.

What a manager this man has been! Jim Gavin was the ultimate modern manager- driven, knowledgable, tactically astute, with a great rapport with the players & interest in their lives. Big shake up now for Dublin & opportunity for the chasing pack of counties. Much respect to Jim✊ https://t.co/SwiCDZoWD8
