In 1995, Michael Jordan lit up the sporting world with two simple words: “I’m back.” After a shock retirement and a brief, forgettable stint in minor league baseball, the basketball icon returned to the NBA at 32. He went on to win three more NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls, sealing his legacy as one of the greatest athletes of all time.
In Donegal, when you hear the name Michael, there’s only one man it refers to. Michael Murphy, too, stunned the GAA community with news of his comeback last winter.
