During a National Football League quarter final between Dublin and Cork in 1987, Cork failed to take to the pitch for extra time.

How often has a commentator had to describe action where only one team is on the pitch?

With only the Dublin team on the pitch, the referee threw in the ball and Barney Rock scored against nobody.

'Sunday Sport' is a weekly sports programme on RTÉ Radio 1 covering all the sporting action.

The accompanying image shows Dublin player Barney Rock in 1983. Barney played for Dublin from 1979 to 1991.
