Unbeatable

In late August 2014, Donegal's footballers smashed and grabbed an All-Ireland semi-final victory from Jim Gavin's seemingly unstoppable Dublin team. It would be the last Championship game the Boys in Blue would lose for 2,540 days. Their hearts hardened by that chastening experience in the old stadium, a merciless Dublin would run roughshod over the Gaelic football landscape for the next six seasons. Along the way, their footballing artistry reached heights unimaginable to even the most romantic Hill 16 disciples. Journalist and GAA nut Eric Haughan tells the story of Dublin's seven years in footballing nirvana.
