2015 All-Ireland semi-final, Croke Park
Kerry 0-18 Tyrone 1-11
Kerry were All-Ireland champions, Tyrone were starting from the ground floor but pushed them all the way. Johnny Buckley scored four points from play and a Peter Harte penalty kept Tyrone in touch. But Mickey Harte’s young side missed too many chances and Kerry saw it out.

2012 All-Ireland qualifier, Fitzgerald Stadium
Kerry 1-16 Tyrone 1-6
Old soldiers fighting an old war when they ought to have known better. A day of wall-to-wall crankiness in Killarney, 16 yellow cards and a red for Brian McGuigan. Colm Cooper and Declan O’Sullivan ran the show, Kieran Donaghy’s goal sealed a facile win.

2008 All-Ireland final, Croke Park
Tyrone 1-15 Kerry 0-14
Mickey Harte dropped the McMahon brothers into the full-back line to mark the twin-tower attack of Donaghy and Tommy Walsh out of it. A scrappy final, decided by a Tommy McGuigan goal and remembered for Brian Dooher’s immortal point from the ends of the Earth.

2005 All-Ireland final, Croke Park
Tyrone 1-16 Kerry 2-10
One of the great All-Ireland finals. Peter Canavan’s goal just before half-time was an adornment to the sport. Tomás Ó Sé got up to keep Kerry in it with one of his own. Brian McGuigan and Stephen O’Neill were majestic and saw Tyrone home.

2003 All-Ireland semi-final, Croke Park
Tyrone 0-13 Kerry 0-6
The day Tyrone arrived like a meteor. They played with an almost out-of-body intensity that had Seamus Moynihan saying it was like Times Square out there. Kerry couldn’t live with it and Pat Spillane whined feebly about Puke Football that night.
