Dublin face Galway in the All Ireland Football Final at a packed Croke Park.
Dublin play Galway in the All Ireland Football Final. Dublin had emerged from relative obscurity not having won the All Ireland since beating Galway in 1963. Galway had lost the 1973 final to Cork.
The match was a tense and often scrappy game won by Dublin 0-14 to Galway 1-06.
The highlights shown here include a Galway point from Jimmy Duggan and a goal from Michael Rooney. A turning point in the second half was when Dublin goalkeeper Paddy Cullen saved a Liam Sammon penalty kick. Dublin scores shown are points from David Hickey, Jimmy Keaveney and Brian Mullins.
Towards the end of the game many Dublin supporters had made their way from the Hill 16 terrace to the edge of the pitch. Dublin manager Kevin Heffernan can be seen pleading with them to stay back.
The 1974 All Ireland Football Final was broadcast on 22 September 1974. The commentator is Michael O'Hehir.
