Cometh the hour, cometh the man! If ever there was case for that saying to apply, it would be for Maurice Fitzgerald back in August 2001.

There was only one kick left but it would be far away on the right sideline from a seemingly impossible vantage point.
Impossible was not a word to be found in Fitzgerald's lingo however...
