George O' Connor photograph

(Oldest Posts First)

Lads and lassies, does anybody remember the photograph of George O'Connor as he dropped to his knees in prayer at the final whistle of the All Ireland Final of 1996? He had finally won an All Ireland in his last game for Wexford hurlers...
Im looking to purchase a copy of the photograph somewhere. Does anybody know the name of the photographer who took it? Or where I might be able to buy a copy.

Its my favourite GAA photograph for many reasons.
Many thanks.
