Kevin Walsh: The Invisible Game

AT 28, HE WAS TOLD that Galway did not need him anymore. But Kevin Walsh understood the game of football better than anyone around him. He saw The Invisible Game… deep within the game itself! The powerful midfielder decided to play The Invisible Game. His game was centred on maths, minutes and movement… and a brilliant understanding of, amongst other things, what a player can do in the 79 minutes out of every 80 minutes on the field when he does not have the ball in his hands. Kevin Walsh proceeded to win two All-Ireland titles with Galway, and three All Star awards and he ended his career as one of the greatest midfielders of the modern era.
