RTÉ Sport Journalist Those of a certain age may not be aware that Louth footballers did win an All-Ireland title in the second half of the last century. The year was 1957, when the team, captained by famed musician Dermot O'Brien, defeated Cork to take home Sam Maguire. It was Louth’s third All-Ireland success, placing them alongside Mayo, Tyrone and Offaly in the roll of honour. There is a tradition there, but silverware won since has been scarce. Yes, the Wee County in the years after ’57, were always capable of taking a scalp, as Dublin, Kildare and Meath would find out in Leinster combat.
