On Sunday, Mayo broke a 75 year ‘curse’ to become All Ireland Football champions for the first time since 1951.
The curse was allegedly placed on the team that had just won that title, with a priest apparently stating that they would not win again until all members of the team had died after they were said to have disrespected a funeral that they passed on the way.
11 final defeats and their first final since the last member of the team died and many think that there was some merit to it.
On the evening of their win, Knock Shrine was lit up in their colours to celebrate their historic win.
