The last link to the famous Polo Grounds All-Ireland SFC final in New York has been broken with the passing of former Kerry footballer Mick Finucane at the age of 93.
The Ballydonoghue clubman was a substitute as the Kingdom lost 2-7 to 2-11 to Cavan on what was the first and only time the final was played outside Ireland.
A Munster medalist, Mick made five championship and five league appearances in the famed Kerry jersey from 1947 to 1950.
