In 1980 Dublin set out to atone for developing a reputation as Kerry’s whipping boys. A record seventh consecutive Leinster title looked likely, however, in June of that year tragedy struck.

Nothing could be further from Mullins’s mind. He completed his studies in the United States while he recovered, a miraculous recovery which saw him return to the Dublin team.
