Tributes have poured in for Dublin GAA legend Brian Mullins, who passed away today aged 68 after a short illness.
From St Vincent's Club, Mullins played a significant part in the Dublin football renaissance under Kevin Heffernan in the 1970s. As a midfielder he won four All-Ireland medals, his first when he had just turned 20 in 1974 as Dublin claimed a first Sam Maguire since 1963, beating Galway in the final.
A serious car accident in 1980 nearly ended his playing career, but would later recover and go on to earn a fourth All-Ireland medal in 1983, in that now infamous decider against Galway.
